Should be easy in principle to create two editors for one document.
The problem is in the Windows System, which must support that.

Any progress on this? I've got to use Emacs if I
need it at the moment.

It seems it is a forgotten issue. This feature is solved by the new
windowing system. If I'm wrong, please reopen it.
Comment 4 _ proxity 2004-06-07 10:44:10 UTC 
It's possible to use "Clone Document" and then move the new window
below the old one. This works, but you may think about adding a more
convenient "Split Document" menu item which does the whole job at once.
