NO, isn't so easy as looks. The both windows must share the same text buffer 
and the interaction is really complex. I have some plans on it but I need a lot 
of time.

May be in the future.

Doesn't seems to be a good methode.

I guess the editor doesn't have to add things to the text because RHIDE can be 
used for Pascal and Assembler.
 
  These things aren't so easy to add, needs a lot of work and a huge deep test. 
I have plans and I studed the way to make that but there are other things that 
I'll make before because:

1) Are important too.
2) Won't make the code more buggy.
