Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

[Scott Rossi]

I believe the screenRects is the only function that determines if you have
multiple monitors available.  So comparing stack rects or plugging points
from your group rect/s into the globalLoc function would be the way to go.

The screenRect by itself determines the rect of the main monitor.
