Hi,
Your version of AutoCAD (2002) is bit old. If I remember correctly you can only have AutoCAD Text Window ("history" of Command: prompt; switchable by pressing F2) on the other screen. I used it from AutoCAD Release 10 onwards (under DOS, in 1989). It was limitation of the program itself - up to AutoCAD 2004 or 2005.
Newer versions of AutoCAD let you move toolbars, Properties, attributes, layer control, Ribbon and other dialog boxes to any screen other than main AutoCAD graphic screen.
My PC has 3 monitors and AutoCAD (versions 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and AutoCAD Electrical 2010 Beta all installed "side-by-side", which is NOT recommended by Autodesk!). Main graphics screen is on screen 3, all AutoCAD-related toolbars etc on screen 1 and other running programs on screen 1 and 2. Arrangement of screens: 2 (left), 1 (middle) and 3 (right). All these were done using basic Windows XP Pro, without help from any other 3rd party programs. UltraMon won't help you if application does not allow it!
You have to upgrade your AutoCAD - sorry.
Good luck.
