Didn't know about that.  Nice function.  Just added this to my
.emacs, with a convenient key binding.

(defun narrow-to-region-other-window (start end)
  "Make an indirect buffer for current buffer in \"other\" window.
Select it, and narrow it to the current region."
  (interactive "r")
  (switch-to-buffer-other-window
   (make-indirect-buffer
      (current-buffer)
      (concat (buffer-name) "<ind>")
      t ) )
  (if mark-active (narrow-to-region start end)) )
