Creating Windows

Ctrl-x 2

Opens a new window, it will have the most of the attributes that the current window does, things like: size, buffer, font, etc... If you are using X11 you will probably have to use your mouse to select its position, depending on the window manager you use, on the Amiga it will be created at the same position as the current window.
