Hating to be the fly in the happy ointment,
but ...

When you say "same document, open twice", do
you mean that each has seperate contents, or
that they both show the same copy of the kwd
document in memory?

ie, will changes in one view-window appear
in the other one?

It just occurs to me that this impacts pretty
heavily on document integrity. If the user
opens the first view, does some editing, then
accidentally opens another view, and does some
other editing, which is different - which
persists? The one last saved to disk? I know
this behaviour would fail the mother test
(with mine at least :).


be well;

JC.
