Is it possible to control which monitor dosbox uses when you go fullscreen when you have multiple monitors? Dosbox seems to always go fullscreen onto the primary monitor, while most applications will go fullscreen on the monitor that the application is currently on (for example vlc). I ask this because my current setup has two monitors, one that does well on higher resolutions, but looks horrible in 640x480, and other low resolution modes dos games commonly use. My other monitor is smaller and doesn't support as high of a resolution (which is why it's the secondary monitor) but looks great in in the resolutions dos games use.

Must run dosbox on windows 3.1 within dosbox......

Are you using the latest version of DOSBox and SDL?
DOSBox does not have such control yet, but SDL has. Newer versions of SDL provide some useful environment variables like SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD.
