Definitely a proprietary product of the former Isogon.

I was thinking of writing a Vista macro to do it. Can a Rexx macro toggle from 
one session to the other?

But I just finished the editing task. Where's my "I'd rather be coding" bumper 
sticker when I need it?

It can be done if you have ISPF Productivity Tool (formally known as SPIFFY), 
an ISPF enhancement product which among other things supports enhanced 
cut/paste to multiple "clip boards" within multiple contexts.
However, unless things have changed this is not a free product, so unless some 
of its other features are also very appealing to management it might be 
difficult to cost-justify.

I'm thinking one could even kludge their own one-clipboard version of 
split-screen edit cut/paste using REXX Edit macros without too much difficulty. 
Does such a beast possibly already exist on the CBT Tape web site?
