Thanks very much for taking the time to explain the setup, Larry.

tablet at the helm... is there any way to just use the Nokia as a second
display screen - "feeding" it from the VGA output on the laptop?

you're watching it from the tablet via remote desktop. Sorry....
However, if this isn't a problem remote desktop is done like this....:
