Try

,----[ C-h f make-frame RET ]
| make-frame is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `frame.el'.
| (make-frame &optional parameters)
| 
| Return a newly created frame displaying the current buffer.
| Optional argument parameters is an alist of parameters for the new frame.
| Each element of parameters should have the form (NAME . VALUE), for example:
| 
|  (name . STRING)	The frame should be named STRING.
| 
|  (width . NUMBER)	The frame should be NUMBER characters in width.
|  (height . NUMBER)	The frame should be NUMBER text lines high.
| 
| You cannot specify either `width' or `height', you must use neither or both.
| 
|  (minibuffer . t)	The frame should have a minibuffer.
|  (minibuffer . nil)	The frame should have no minibuffer.
|  (minibuffer . only)	The frame should contain only a minibuffer.
|  (minibuffer . WINDOW)	The frame should use WINDOW as its minibuffer window.
| 
| Before the frame is created (via `frame-creation-function'), functions on the
| hook `before-make-frame-hook' are run.  After the frame is created, functions
| on `after-make-frame-functions' are run with one arg, the newly created frame.
| 
| This function itself does not make the new frame the selected frame.
| The previously selected frame remains selected.  However, the
| window system may select the new frame for its own reasons, for
| instance if the frame appears under the mouse pointer and your
| setup is for focus to follow the pointer.
