To direct pen input to the monitor displaying this message, touch the screen with the pen in the VirtualTablet app. If you want to select a different monitor than the one showing the message, press Enter to cycle through monitors until the message appears on your desired monitor, then touch the screen with the pen in the VirtualTablet app.
