You did get me thinking.  I should be able to solve this by creating a
new major mode, notes-mode, derived from text-mode.
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CreateNewMajorMode

I can open my working emacs in frame #1 and, then as I need it, open
frame #2 in my new notes-mode restricted to *.nts files (or some such).

Do you see anything wrong with this as a solution?
