[moneydance] multiple register windows?

Is there any good reason MD shouldn't have an option to open a register in 
a new window? It seems to have most of the capability already anyway -- 
when you "show other side", it opens another register, editable, just 
lacking the menu and task bars.

This is one thing I miss from Q/Mac (and one reason I didn't like Q/Win). 
Though I don't use the capability a great deal, it's definitely useful. 
Sometimes I need to scan two registers side by side. I can leave my two 
main checking account registers open with a little showing at the bottom, 
below other windows, so that those two balances are always visible.

Clearly it should ONLY be an option, not the standard behavior. I'm pretty 
sure that once I get used to it, I'll prefer the single-window mode for 
most work. It's fast and clean and there's less fingerwork involved in 
getting from one place to another.

So I'm ready to enter the enhancement suggest, unless someone says it's a 
horrible idea.
