Hello! Having not recently checked the "wish list" or TO_DO file lately, I'm not sure whether this is planned, but I was wondering (a) whether having "split windows" (see below) is on the list of things to do and, if not, (b) whether it was reasonable and/or feasible? By "split windows," I mean splitting the display window from the source window, so that there are in fact TWO windows, each of which can be independently sized, moved, etc. Why am I looking for such a beast? There are times when I need to be looking at a lot of state information, but at the same time I need to watch the source and context around it as I step through it. I can get a fair amount of viewage with my current workstation monitor, which is a 1280x1024(?) display, but it'd be nice if I could get a full-length window for BOTH. Further, I have a two-monitor setup, so it's quite easy for me to throw up two UPS windows covering one entire screen, and still be able to see the output from a window on another screen. On the other hand, I can see that this is potentially a big, big hassle, and that there is probably nobody else in the world who has the kind of monitor-setup that I do and uses UPS. So if this gets very low priority, then I understand. Just thought I'd ask! Thanks! Bob Carragher
