Personally, I like the split screen feature in XEDIT. ?It is especially handy when I use a 43 line terminal definition. ?For copy/paste operations it is really nice to be able to navigate different sections of the files. ?I only have ever used two virtual screens though.
I really do appreciate your efforts in incorporating XEDIT functions into EE. ?Keep up the good work.

I need your feedback: is it important to have XEDIT's SET SCREEN command in EE ?

XEDIT allows to divide the physical screen into multiple logical screens. Multiple files are visible at the same time, or a file is visible in multiple views. THE (The Hessling Editor) has implemented this, KEDIT for Windows partially.

This is a big change to EE's infrastructure, the question is to do it now or to do it never.
