The IBM SAA CUA Advanced Interface Design Guide recommends the use of
a "split window" technique for allowing users to view many parts of
one object at the same time.

An example of the technique is provided by Word for Windows, which
allows the user to drag the "split box" from the top of the scroll
bar to split the window into two, vertically.

Unfortunately, none of the Microsoft SDK reference manuals seem to
contain any hints as to how one should go about writing routines to
handle the split box, or even to handle painting and scroll bars for
a split window.

If anyone out there has any idea how to do it, or knows of a book
which details a suitable technique, please could he let me know.
