Dual screen on the macbook pro

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and am looking to run 'Dual Screens', ie, where I can have two things on different screens but all from the same computer. You see it in businesses all the time.
I have read a few posts about this but am not sure what they really mean, can anyone explain really simply if this can be done, and roughly how I would go about doing it.

Many thanks

When you say "dual screens" do you mean the:

- Macbook Pro display + 1 external display
- Macbook Pro display + 2 external display's

If you mean the Macbook Pro display + 1 external display...all you have to do is plug the external display into your Macbook Pro (you may need a video adapter)...then go to:

- Apple drop down menu
- System Preferences
- Displays control panel
- then manipulate the settings

HTH,
