thx John... I thought my pic above showed what the OP wanted as well.  For once...something I know about....I think!!

You both got it right. I don't see what the issue is either.

...as long as you do not have a program maximized it is simple to move it over to the other screen...
...I can't remember if XP had that ability...

Yes, it does.

I guess the only different thing would be the location of the menu bar.

Heck,if i'm workin with the track view or the console,i have matching monitors so I just drag the console or track view all the way across to the other monitor using a screen set or the console on one screen,the track view on the other or vice versa....
 

Same here. I usually have the console view about half the size of my left monitor, then start track view (no inspector) and set it so that the end of the track name bit (where the actual timeline starts) lines up exactly with the split between the monitors. Gives me a lot of working space and still lets me access most things very quickly. I have the console undocked for this, obviously. I use (SHIFT+)D to quickly maximize and hide the dock when Melodyning and editing midi and the like. Took me a while to adjust to SkyLight, but I'm loving it now.
