I need help making a wired modem send signals to multiple mon

Its in the name i want to add more then one monitor to my program. I tryed
hi = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
local mon = peripheral.wrap("monitor_" ..hi)

but it didnt work. I could use some help btw what i am doing is a huge powerpoint presentation and i need mon.write all over so i need it on more then one mon.

Try this (untested):

local tWrap = { peripheral.wrap('right'),  peripheral.wrap('left'), --etc.. 
}

for i = 1, #tWrap do
  mon = tWrap[i]
  mon.write('hi')
end

Or you can show the current code, im wondering now ^^

To get and write to multiple monitors through a modem, it's usually best to use modem.getNamesRemote.

local modem = peripheral.wrap('back') -- wrap whichever modem on your computer is connecting your monitors
local names = modem.getNamesRemote()

for i=1, #names do
  local mon = peripheral.wrap(names[i])

  -- your drawing operations
end

And I'll go ahead and point to the NetGroup API I have linked in my signature, that'll probably help you out a bit if you don't feel like looping through the peripherals yourself.
