move timeline

I now have a 2-monitor setup. I can't figure out how to grab the timeline and move it to the other monitor -- i don't see any grab marks

Rick, you need to go into the settings of your video card and set it up for dual monitor display.

Thanks. Actually, I already did that. Figured out that if I click on the smaller icon top right, I can move the entire display over to the other monitor, then drag just the preview back to the first, which is where I want it. All good. Thanks.

Assuming your video card is properly set up, the default setting should be your timeline stretched across both monitors.
Once you get to this point, you can start dragging tabs around and placing them wherever you want.

Remember that you can save and recall up to 10 different layouts.
From the Vegas help file:
Press Ctrl+Alt+D, release the keys, and then press a number on your keyboard (not the numeric keypad) to save the layout in that space.
To load a layout quickly, press Alt+D, release the keys, and then press a number on your keyboard (not the numeric keypad) to recall the layout saved in that in that space.

The timeline is not a dockable window like the others. It's part of the main GUI so you have to move the main screen to move the timeline. The other windows (like the preview window) can be undocked and moved as you've seen. As you have discovered, to move the timeline to the second screen, you have to move the main Vegas program to the second screen and then undock and move the individual windows you want on the first screen back.
