Hi, Art!

One of GnuCash's lesser-known features makes it easy to do what you
want. And you don't have to open the data file twice.

Bring up one of the two registers, then click Window » New Window with
Page. That register will be moved to a "floating" window separate from
the main GC window. Then you can bring up the other register in the main
GC window.

You can edit either register, but don't try to edit one register while
there's an incomplete transaction in the other register.
