Actually I hadn't considered the scenario of having two hardware displays.

Are you saying that the current vm design of the smalltalk level code and/or
the C level code can only open one os window?

If the Display is stored as a bitmap in squeak that is copied to the os
window then it should be possible to have two or more os windows running and
getting copies. Of course that's only in the case when they display the same
project. Usually, for my use case scenarios at least, each window would be
displaying a seperate project.

Thanks for your insights,

Peter
