I'm not missing anything specific. I did, however temporarily miss something. workstation 7 pdf search for "monitors" reveals a table of contents entry that deals with multiple monitors -- what i was looking for. workstation 8 pdf has nothing for "monitor" in the contents, and then hundreds of daunting matches. Typing in the additional "s" at the end, however, does lead one to a promising page. So it seems the stuff I knew I wanted was there. But the stuff I didn't know about, I was concerned was missing from the missing 512-198 pages.
Perhaps the contents page could be beefed up. But then that might cause other problems, anyway. Even 198 pages is a daunting size. Had I not already found what I wanted by a certain method in an older 6.5 pdf, I would not have given up so easily in the 8 pdf.
