To close laptop without sleeping

How can I close my MacBook Pro laptop with out putting it to sleep? I'm using external monitor that I wish to remain on when laptop is closed. My "old" MacBook would do this (and my PC's)

See this article: Connect a display to your Mac - Apple Support

"If you use an external keyboard and mouse with your Mac notebook, you

can close the built-in display after you connect your external

display. You might have to press a key or click your mouse to wake the

external display."
