--- Comment #8 from Kenneth Hanson <khanson...@gmail.com> ---
I'm confused, and I think it's because the word "copy" is being used for two
different things.

Nick, do you want multiple *views* of the same document, or would multiple
*copies* (that is, separate files with the same content) be adequate?

Command line switch -n gives you the latter. There is no point in making them
read-only in this case, because they can't affect each other or the original.

My suspicion is that what you really want is multiple *views* (or instances) of
the same document, so that all remain in sync as you edit them. This would
require a new command line switch. Is this right?

Then, combining this another switch (current "view" or a new one with a better
name) to make the new views read-only from the start would be a separate
change. Certainly this would be the logical thing to do. But do you actually
need this? Your original comment makes it sound unnecessary.
