First of all, yes i know you can run dual monitors on a MBP, what i want to know is (being a mac newbie) can you have it so that an external screen (my 17" crt) on the right can be like an extension to the MBP screen like i have seen on windows PC's so you can basically move the mouse straight into the other screen by going off the right hand side of the screen and dragging windows into there.

Just wanted to know is and how this is possible

Thank you all very much in advance
