Hmm indeed, and the second screen doesn't have to have all the text of the 1st screen, just a fraction of it (as much as fits in it), so it wouldn't slow things down.
A split screen function like zMud client's would be nice to have. Because sometimes when I pause the screen to read back, I would miss something important that required my immediate attention.
I know I can always open another window and pause it and all that but an auto split screen feature like zMud would really make things more convienent.
