Two monitors

My IBM Thinkpad will support an external monitor. Under WIN98SE is there any way to have the laptop and the second monitor display different screens? I'd like to view a webpage on one and a text file on the other, with the ability to work on each independantly.

I ask because I saw my visually impaired neighbor's system (also 98, I think) running with two monitors and one was the normal windows and the second was the output of the Magnify option of windows.

Thanks, George
 
As far as I know, the use of two monitors would require two video cards. If your ThinkPad is so-equipped and can get both it's own display and another monitor to function then you should check the Windows Help files. Start > Help > multiple display support = the information you need.
