Thanks again for the help - I might leave the blanking
screens for now until the beta testers have tried it
out for me, as in the context of my app (which uses
the full screen mode to provide a full screen text
editor) it may be pretty useful to be able to use
other apps on another screen. It just depends how well
they work on another screen with my system UI settings
(SetSystemUIMode(kUIModeAllHidden,
kUIOptionAutoShowMenuBar|kUIOptionDisableProcessSwitch);).
I'll see what the beta testers say.
Thanks again - I really am grateful for the help.
All the best,
Keith
