I dunno Lawrence.  When I have multiple panes it's typically because I have
a pane open to an area where I'm writing code and a pane to an area where I'm
#defining constants or whatever.  But I want both areas to be either that current
worksheet or the target.  Seems to me that multiple windows would just make
things hard to arrange.
