> Is there no support for multiple monitors on MS Windows?
There is, but by and large, Emacs will see them as a single large
desktop. See here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145071%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
(We don't support the "independent monitors" mode mentioned there.)
In any case, "multiple monitors" and "multiple displays" are 2
different issues. Each display can have multiple monitors.

The functions you mentioned provide that info, or maybe I don't
understand what info are you looking for.q

You can't.

Probably because the pixel coordinates mapped to that other monitor,
the URL above explains that, among other things.
