If I understand correctly, you need to use frames. You can create new
frames from the menu (Menu-Bar->File->New Frame) or "C-x 5 2". Then
you can split those frames into multiple windows. To move between
frames you use (Menu-Bar->Buffers->Frames-><frame to switch to>).
There is likely a way to move between frames with the keyboard (or
create the capability) but I don't know what it is.
