Sorry for the delay in posting a reply.
In emacs, you can use the file menu to create a new frame (window).
You then need to enter elisp commands to invoke these functions. An elisp
command can be entered interactively by pressing Alt-:
First, create a frame using the file menu.
Then capture one frame with Alt-: (setq f (selected-frame))
Move the mouse into the other window and bring it to the front. The frame
commands are
(raise-frame f)
(iconify-frame f)
(decionify-frame f)
(make-frame-visible f)
