     SplitWnd creates a new window by splitting an existing window.
 
     Argument     Description
 
     <pWindow>    Window to be split
     <fVert>      Ignored
     <Position>   Ignored
     <fDup>       Determines how the file history for the new window is
                  to be created, as explained below.
 
     Each window has a separate file history. When you create a new
     window with SplitWnd, you must specify how you want the file
     history for the new window and the window it was created from to be
     handled.
 
     The following values can be given for <fDup>:
 
     Value   Description
 
     0       Duplicate the file history. Both windows will have copies
             of the same file history after the split.
 
     2       Do not duplicate the file history. The new window gets a
             file list consisting of only the current file. The history
             of the old window is unaffected.
 
     4       Move the file history from the old window to the new
             window. The new window gets the file history. The old
             window gets a file history consisting of only the current
             file.
