turns off the internal display. To change the active display, press
keep the internal display on, you might notice a slight dimming.

panning might result. To resolve this, turn off the internal monitor or change the
display settings (Windows 95: Control Panel, Display, Settings, Desktop area;
Windows for Workgroups: OmniBook Tools, Display Options, Video Configuration).
