MBP + ACD: close the lid, what happens?

How do you tell the MacBook Pro to output to the Apple Cinema Display when the lid is closed rather than go to sleep? I know you can use the ACD as a secondary screen OR as the only screen with the MBP lid closed. Is there a setting somewhere for this?
 
If you have an external keyboard & mouse attached, and are plugged into a/c, it's automatic.

With the lid closed, just wake the MBP with the mouse or keyboard (they can both be Bluetooth, if you like). The external display will become the main display.
