[WriteLog] Using a second monitor issue

[Jerry Pixton]

All,

Maybe I am not understanding this thread. But I run the Writelog logging 
(Entry) window on my main monitor. I run all of the rttyrite windows for 
both radios and 2Tone clones, plus the mmtty decoders all on my second 
monitor. I put other garbage on a third monitor.

So I left click on rtty calls, reports etc all the time in any of the 
writelog windows on the second monitor and have the text go to the entry 
window.

Now all the rttyrite windows with clones are all on the same monitor.

Actually that is not needed. As I wrote this, I just moved any of the 
four rttyrite windows over to the main monitor and they still sent data 
to the entry window.

So a counterpoint. I hate computers that all give different results when 
supposedly running the same operating system, hi
