I want to write a script that would display text content on two distinct display-monitors (each one would have a distinct content), but I don't know where to start: which scriptable application, how to address the two monitors separately,...? The content would be refreshed regularly.
______________________________________________________________________

A simple example that does not account for multiple monitors but conveys the basic idea:

tell application "Smile"
set winMon1 to make new text window with properties {name:"WinMon1", bounds:{0, 22, 845, 1196}}
set winMon2 to make new text window with properties {name:"WinMon2", bounds:{1073, 22, 1918, 1196}}
set text of winMon1 to "This window should be on montior 1"
set text of winMon2 to "This window should be on montior 2"

delay 2

select winMon1
set text of winMon1 to "More goofy text on Monitor 1."

delay 2

select winMon2
set text of winMon2 to "More goofy text on Monitor 2."
end tell

That ought to get you started.
