Thanks,

It's still obscure and is implemented oddly and even that odd implementation is poorly done. When you click the split icon there is no visible indication that something has happened, at least on MacOSX. The only hint that you may have engaged the "split mode" occurs if, and only if, you then hover over the preview text and the mysterious green bar appears. Since no other editing is done in the Preview windows, you can't even place a cursor there, it isn't intuitive that this one editing action can be done there. At the very least, the icon should change state when clicked so you can see that clicking has had some effect.

Thanks again. Now that I know its there and how it works I'm sure I'll use it with some frequency.
