This way you can +view several documents at the same time, or more instances of the same +document, handy for example if your document contains definitions in +the top that you want to see often for reference. Or you could view a +program source header in one frame, while editing the implementation +file in another.</para> + +<para>When a document is available in more than one editor, changes +made in one editor will immediately be reflected in the others as +well. This includes changing the text as well as selecting +text.

The new frame will be at the bottom (in the case of a +horizontal split) or at the right (for a vertical split).
