Dave,
I am pretty sure this data is stored in the Allegro.ini or Allegro.geo file 
located in the PCBENV directory. Try looking there first.

I can't figure out the pattern of when it opens up on a particular monitor.

The "hitting the X" after enlarging to full screen did not work on my set up.

However, bringing allegro to the right monitor, as a minimum screen (opened 
allegro, but not full screen), and then "hitting the X" and shutting down; Did 
produce the desired effect.

The next time I opened Allegro, it opened on the right screen.

This tells me that somewhere in the system there is a file that dictates where 
Allegro will open.

I'm just curious if that file could be controlled in a script when opening up 
Allegro to always have it open on the right monitor.

Thanks for the tips.
Dave

Open allegro, move the screen shot to the monitor you wish it to open on, 
enlarge screen shot to full size, and exit the program by hitting the X in the 
upper right of the screen.  Next time you open the program it will be on that 
monitor.

It seems to always open up where I closed it last. I'm not sure that there is 
anything for a specific application that would direct it to a specific monitor.

Hey Everybody,

I got a dual monitor set up for Allegro.

I would like Allegro to always open on the right monitor, the left being my 
main monitor.

What controls which monitor Allegro opens on?

Thanks
Dave
