Ok, from Neil's response to this thread, I see that there is a 
misunderstanding somewhere--I did not intend to say that the changes 
would be visible in both (or all) instances of the editor.  

But, that doesn't keep me from working on them just fine.

(And, if I save the file in one instance of the editor after making 
changes, when I go to that file in an other instance of the editor, I'm 
warned that the file on disk doesn't match the one I'm about to edit, 
and I'm prompted to do things like reload the file.  (Nedit is an 
example.))

Sorry if I created some confusion.
