Thanks - you answered my question. The following frame alist opens a 
frame on my second monitor when used with the make-frame function.

(setq second-frame-alist
              '((top . 0)
                (left . -1280)
                (width . 150)
                (height . 56)
                (cursor-color . "deep sky blue")
                (background-color . "Wheat")
                (foreground-color . "blue3")
                )
              )

I appreciate your help, Jason.
