Using Tag Groups with Quad Displays and Dual Displays

The command that I am using to get the tag group to appear is    OPENTGDPICTURE “XXX.grf”, , 9, 10, “YYY.tgd”   where XXX is the name of the graphic file, YYY is the name of the Tag Group file, 9 is the X coordinate and 10 is the Y coordinate.  All works well, except when I use this on a Quad head system .  Unfortunately the OPENTGDPICTURE command does not support telling which monitor to go to.  I can change the X and Y coordinates to make the popup graphic show up ok for the operators number 2 screen, but then I can’t see it on my single head Proplus or dual head Pro station.  What I was thinking about doing was to add a script to the main graphic that has the OPENTGDPICTURE command that determines the monitor that the main graphic is on, then create variables with appropriate numbers for the X and Y coordinates and substitute variables for the 9 and 10 in the original command.  Unfortunately my limited VB skills keep me from doing this.  There is one suggestion in SMS to use the Frsgetcoordinates function to determine where the main graphic is being opened.  I am unable to tell the exact way to use this command.  It looks like, I have to provide the X and Y coordinates, then it comes back with true, when the X and Y coordinates match.  Any help with this command or help at solving the issue would be appreciated.
