Assuming you have an external kb/mouse, close the lid and wake the machine back up. This will run it off the external monitor only, then you can fullscreen.

or just swap the 20" to the main screen (aka the one with the doc+tool bar)

System Prefrences, Displays, Arrangement. then drag the Tool Bar to the other monitor
