Thanks Paul. That sounds feasable. I did edit the document
in both windows! Maybe there could be an option in
preferences to set the second or more window(s) to read-only
mode? That will stop anyone from accidently editing the
document in the other opened windows.

I want to refer to previous sections of a document in read-only mode in
a new window, so I can keep a consistent format for new sections
written later in the same document.

With LyX 1.6.0, you can open the doc and then use View -> Split View into
Left and Right Half (or View -> Split View into Upper and Lower Half) to
get two views on the same document. AFAIK neither is read-only, but
hopefully you can restrain yourself from editing one of them. :-)
