SUMMARY
=======

If you have two monitors (VGA and monochrome) connected to your computer and
both a VGA and mono video card in your computer, you can switch back and forth
between the two monitors and their respective video cards while running
non-Windows based applications in Windows. You can do this using the VGA video
driver supplied with Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
================

With this configuration, Windows uses the VGA card and VGA monitor. To use the
monochrome monitor and video card, do the following:

1. In Windows Program Manager, choose the MS-DOS Prompt icon. You can run MS-DOS
  Prompt in a full-screen window.

2. To switch to the monochrome monitor, type the following at the MS-DOS command
  prompt and press ENTER:

  " mode mono" (without the quotation marks)

  When you exit MS-DOS Prompt or reactivate Windows, you automatically switch
  back to the VGA monitor and video card.
