All of our PCs have dual monitors.

RE: lingo-l testing for resolution with dual monitors
Got this myself: put the desktopRectList -- [rect(0, 0, 1024, 768), rect(1024, 0, 2048, 768)] put (the desktopRectList).count -- 2 BTW, keep in mind that some dual screen hardware/driver solutions allow just one screen resolution and works just as if you'd have a unique double width screen (ex. 2056 x 768 pix.). For example, a full screen 800 x 600 projector is displayed in the center of the 2 screen in this situation. That was the case with Matrox old drivers for G400/Win2k. Now, i have the choice now to run in either single or dual desktop mode. I don't know the situaton for other display adaptors than Matrox ones.

lingo-l testing for Internet connection
Is there a way to use Lingo to see if the PC/Mac is connected to the Internet? I use baOpenURL to start the default browser and load a page, but I'd like to test for connection first. There's a great TechNote on using getNetText for this at at http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/internt_connected.htm but that Note was written in 2000. Any newer methods? Which of the newer Director books have the most info on using Net Lingo and Multiuser Server? I've never done Internet Lingo before, and my library may be a little behind. My most recent book is Gary Rosenzweig's Special Edition using D 8.5. Many thanks!
