Plugin to continue text at top

Hi guys

When I was reading an article the other day I came across a complaint
from some IT-guy that he missed that today's editors, when they had
reached last line, couldn't "expand" and continue the file in an
attached window. In the answers someone said that Vim could infact do
this. I asked him how it's done but he won't answer me.

So the plugin/script would work like this:
Let's say you have a gvim window which, from top to bottom, has 50
lines. When you finish writing in the 50th line and hit enter GVim
would automatically make an attached "window" right next to where you
were writing so the 51st line would go on the top inline with the 1st
line. I'll try and demonstrate it with a picture with only 5 lines.

|| 1st line || 6th line || 11th line ||
|| 2nd line || 7th line || 12th line ||
|| 3rd line || 8th line || 13th line ||
|| 4th line || 9th line || 14th line ||
|| 5th line || 10th line || 15th line ||

If this script exists and you know where it can be found than that
info would be greatly appreciated.
If on the other hand it doesn't exist than I would appreciate your
input on how I could, for a lack of a better word, engineer it myself.

Regards,
Gisli Freyr
