I am beginning a programming project in which I want a split text window:
that is, I want a window with two scrollable regions (two thumb controls)
into which text will be typed. Just for your info, the text will be added
to each region such that you will not be able to edit the lines above you,
though you will be able to copy from them and see them by scrolling up. The
only editing you will be able to do is typing characters, return, backspace,
and pasting characters.

What would be the simplist way to implement this? The Window Manager only
provides one thumb control and no obvious way to implement two independent
scrolling regions. There is also nothing obvious in TE, and I do not want
most of TE's editing features.

Any suggestions appreciated.
