I would like to write an AppleScript that will move any
files/folders/applications it finds on my primary monitor to my second
monitor. Not even sure where to begin. If I have a specific file
selected is there a way to move it to my other display?

Thanks,
Adam

Adam,
what do you mean by moving a file to a window?
A file is in a directory. It can not be moved to a location in the monitor.
An open window of that file can be moved to a different location in the monitor.
Do that via "Finder".
Open windows can be moved, files and directories can not.
Open an window and move it to the second terminal, get its bounds.
Then, using those bounds, move all other windows that you want to that monitor.


Hope this helps.
