In BlackBox the "clone" is a shallow copy so that changes to the<br>
original are seen in the clone. One simply has two views of the<br>
same "model" (document).<br>

There, each menu viewer has a "System.Clone" command in its title bar, which opens a clone (=deep copy) of the viewer in a new virtual display area, which is created on the fly. No overlaying tracks and no "hidden viewers". It's an experiment, so it would be interesting to hear what people think and how it could potentially be improved.</span></div>
