Hi,

I want to back this. Lazarus' editor is much more advanced than that of 
my old Delphi times but having 2 windows of the same source-file openend 
side-by-side is one of the Delphi features I really miss.

I used this a lot not only to check two depending source positions at 
the same time but for copying code snipplets from one position to the 
other - if you want to do that several times it is much easier to handle.

Thank you very much in advance for thinking about how difficult it would 
be to implement such a feature.

Regards

Georg (Bremen)
