Yes, while I certainly did not say so, what I had in mind was a proper
separation of model and view/controller. When that's done, it should be easy
to implement all kinds of splits and tear-off-windows, too.
The only problem is that it is probably going to be rather a lot of work to
scrape out the model that must be hidden somewhere underneath PText.
Anyway, I am going to spend tomorrow trying to analyse PText and see what I
can do over the weekend. But please do not hold your breath - I've been doing
Perl-development during the last two years, so I will need some time to get
comfy with C++ again ;-)
cheers,
Oliver
