[PD] gem fullscreen question

[Derek Holzer]

Yes, in that case don't use the "fullscreen" message. Use "dimen X Y" 
and "offset X Y", giving it the dimensions of your second screen, and 
the offset to the left or right of where your second screen is located. 
Look at the [pd window properties] subpatch of the [gemwin] help file 
for details on other kinds of messages you can use.
