C-x 5 2 should do it. I am not sure if that works with the emacs
that's bundled with the mac, however. I haven't used it in ages.
And if you look at emacs help, you will discover a terminology
mismatch: What is a window from the point of view of the OS is called
a "frame" in emacs. Each frame can be divided into smaller
rectangles, which emacs calls windows. This unfortunate state of the
terminology came about because emacs used windows (what /emacs/ calls
windows) long before the graphical user interface was popularized.
