Two or more Xys open

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

I wonder if anyone has experimented with opening a second (or third)
instance of XyWrite instead of a new window in the same instance, for
certain functions?
For example, Robert's CITE* routine. When it just opens a new window,
rather than going back and forth between windows, might it not be better to
open a new instance of Xy, which could then be visible in tandem with the
file being CITEd?
Same for opening a directory--why not have the directory show in another
Xy, rather than another window?
I can see problems: changes made in one Xy don't show up in the other.
Experimentation shows you can make inconsistent SAves in the two open
instances of the same file. But maybe it would be okay for things one isn't
going to change, such as a CITE output, or a directory listing. Or where
you carefully restrict yourself to different files in each Xy.
