The best way I have found to get Finder windows where I want them is
to put them where I want them and us "get bounds" instead of "set
bounds". I can look at the result and put those coordinates into my
scripts "set bounds" statement. As I understand it, multiple monitors
just work like a single large desktop, so the pixel coordinates just
continue to increment across the boundaries of the individual monitors.

I have a dual monitor setup. I use an applescript that creates two
windows, one on top and one on bottom. Here's a snippet of the code:
-- BOTTOM WINDOW
set this_window to make new Finder window
set the target of this_window to the startup_disk
set the bounds of this_window to {25, (528) div 1.15,
monitor_width, 755}
set the current view of this_window to column view
-- TOP WINDOW
set this_window to make new Finder window
set the target of this_window to the startup_disk
set the bounds of this_window to {25, (142) div 1, monitor_width, 435}
set the current view of this_window to column view
how can I get the top and bottom windows to open in the 1st monitor
and also the 2nd monitor? Right now it just opens windows in the 1st
monitor.
