Thanks everyone.
However, my grey matter is a little woolly as an octogenarian. I've
searched back, and Tony said "Qemulator works fine in second screen
under XP in VMware on a Macbook". That is what set me thinking. My Amilo
machine has Vista (unfortunately!). I needed pointing to a dunce's
detailed step by step instructions as I am not versed at doing this sort
of thing at system level.
Well it is hardly system level.
You simply configure the second screen (control panel -> display ->
settings).
Vista does it in the same way as XP.
Then qemulator (and other Windows programs), can use both screens.
Thinking again about it, what I now think is the way is to run a Linux
emulator under Kubuntu. Most of my QL work is on floppies. The Vista on
the Amilo won't reliably access the USB floppy, whereas Linux under VM
has no problems.
