RDz: Need multiple HCE emulators

Bank developers need to open an emulator to execute a transaction in the production CICS region, and then open a second emulator to execute the same transaction in the test region. They wish to view and compare the screens side-by-side. How do we support this in RDz? Note: PCOMM offers 4 emulators.

    The requested feature can be performed using the "New Editor" feature built-in to the base Eclipse support. You can see how to use this function by viewing the video at the following website:
    http://eclipseone.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/split-and-view-the-same-editor-side-by-side-in-eclipse/

    Once the new editor is opened, you can drag it next to the original editor to perform the requested comparison.

    Note that this support assumes that you are connecting to the same hostname and port number for each editor session.
