Yes, I'm terrible with those terms and definitions.  I meant a distinct
emacs instance in this case.

It also means that I'm not quite sure about frames.  Windows seems to
be what can be divided by using C-x 2, c-x 3.  In each window is a
buffer.  When having several buffers shown in various windows, that can
be saved using C-x r w [key] and recalled using C-x j [key].  Several
windows/buffers placements can be saved and recalled that way.

And so, what are frames actually ?
