I want a "make-frame-on-display" command that works on Win32 (the existing "make-frame-on-display" command seems to only support X).That's not what make-frame-on-display does. It opens a frame on a different X display (ie, a different login session). Multiple monitors in the same session are handled by setting the x and y offset in frame-parameters to position the frame where you want it, whether on X or on Windows.
Thanks - you answered my question. The following frame alist opens a frame on my second monitor when used with the make-frame function.
(setq second-frame-alist '((top . 0) (left . -1280) (width . 150) (height . 56) (cursor-color . "deep sky blue") (background-color . "Wheat") (foreground-color . "blue3") ) ) I appreciate your help, Jason. - Bruce
