Because starting a separate copy of Vim isn't what I asked for. I
want separate,
windows onto the same file -- one vim, but with splits I can
undock/detach and
move around as separate windows (but still on the same buffer in the
same copy
of vim).

I.e. if I split gvim into 4 panels, on the same file, and focus
at the same area, I can type in 1 window and see results in the other
panels.
Now I just want to detach one or more of those panels -- they will still
be on
the same file using the same copy of vim -- just that they can be moved
around
separately from each other.

Does that explain why/how Campbell's solution isn't solving the same
problem?
