# To subscribers of the xforms list from Stephen Huyssoon <huyssoons@advancia.com> :

Greetings Forms Library people.

My project requires that I move a form (or simulate this motion)
from one display to another.

How shall I do this?

Should I set my DISPLAY environment variable and then call
fl_initialize() a second time, then hide the one form and show
the other?

Must I fork off a child (early on), set the DISPLAY environment
variable, call fl_initialize(), and create the second form, maintaining
communication with the parent using a pipe?

What support does the Forms Library have for an application that
uses multiple displays?

What am I missing?
