- One thing I haven't seen anyone mention when this subject comes up, is the
- DM's ability to make multiple copies of a window. I use this constantly when
- I'm writing code, so I can see one section of the program while editing
- another, and it's very useful for comparing, say, program output in different
- sections of the pad. Unfortunately, HP's DM X emulator doesn't appear to
- support this.
-
- If there is a was to do this under X, I'd appreciate it if someone would tell
- me.
