Thanks. No. C-x 5 2 would create a new "window tool" =96 a "frame" in GNU Emacs =20= terminology =96 which can have a few windows or buffers/buffer views =20 open. What you want to use is C-x 2: split-window-vertically. Above =20 and below another separating mode-line you would see the same file =20 and buffer contents but would be able to scroll independently, i.e. =20 you would have two different views onto the same object. -- Greetings Pete Sorry my terrible English, my native language Lisp!
