I actually like that idea, it makes the long list of EX COMMANDS a bit simpler, making the relevant stuff easier to find. Of course, we still have to say how to get out of split screen mode when you stumble into it unintentionally - which esily happens because the colon requires the shift key on many keyboards, so accidentally hitting ":N" instead of ":n" is not uncommon. If people like the idea, i'll also fix up :exusage (unless people want :exusage deleted, which i would of course prefer). OK?
