I recently have been intrigued by the whole dual boxing scheme of things. I would like to give it a simple shot just to see how much it plays out, but I currently only have one monitor. Is there some software that I can use to send my keystrokes to multiple wow clients while still only playing with one window actually up? Most of the information Ive found pertains to multiple displays, and therefor most of the software I have found are for multiple displays. If someone could lay out some simple directions, or advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

To my total noob knowledge the key clone program sends the keystrokes and selected mouse commands to multiple processes.
So you should be able to have 1 selected in windowed mode and 1 in the background in windowed mode, but you would have no view whatsoever of the happenings of the background process.

You don't need multiple monitors. The software we use is for the most part to send keystrokes to multiple WoW sessions. Where on the screen(s) those sessions are located is irrelevant. You can have 1 WoW window fullscreen on top and 4 behind it, the important thing is sending keystrokes to all of them. Having 2 monitors is just convenient so we can see all of our windows at a glance or easily interact with the other windows so we don't need to ALT+TAB to the correct window.
KeyClone has additional features to help you manage your WoW windows, for example with PiP you would be able to easily switch which WoW window is currently on top.
If you are thinking of running 2 sessions then the KeyClone developer recently posted an amazing layout for a single monitor. Your main WoW is basically fullscreen with the 2nd WoW running in a much smaller window in the lower right corner but actually on top of your main window. You will need a pretty big resolution on your monitor to pull this off though.
