Of course you can, but not quite like you know it from Windows. You can't spread out the WB over two screens, but you can run Program A in screenmode sayCVision800x600 and Programm B in screenmode PicassoIV1024x768 at the same time.

Someone even wrote a little arrexscript that automatically gimes an [Amiga]+m when you reach the screenborder. Must be on Aminet
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Haven't tried it myself, but I don't know why it shouldn't. I belive you have to disable the monitorswitcher in CGX (NOPASSTHROUGH=1) if you want to use AGA as well.

How do you assign what program to end up on screen a or screen b?

What do you mean by that ? The screemode (and therefore the graphicscard it is displayed on) of you WB is set in prefs / screenmodes. Any Programm that opens a custom screen will have it's own prefs where you can set the desired screenmode, so there you select a screenmode from the other graphicscard.
