Thank you Marcelo for your detailed reply.

As far as I could see "settings" provides no option for cloning or 
mirroring two monitors. Using "settings" is also a bit tricky because 
the HDMI monitor has to be connected to show HDMI settings and once it 
is then I cannot interact with the dialog because the mouse pointer is 
not on the screen. I did notice that the mouse pointer did move off the 
laptop screen but it didn't appear on the HDMI screen. An Internet 
search didn't locate anything specific to KDE but there are a lot of 
how-tos for Gnome.

I'll test this further and see if I can make any sense of it.

Thanks again.
