How can emacs open a new file in a new gui window? And how can it be made to open by splitting a window?

To open a new frame, select Make New Frame from the Files menu or press C-x 5 2 (for make-frame). Emacs makes a new frame containing the current buffer and puts it on top of the current frame. These lines set up sizes for the width and height of Emacs frames.
You can split a window horizontally or vertically by clicking C-Mouse-2 in the mode line or the scroll bar.
To move between the buffers, type C-x b. Emacs shows you a default buffer name. Press Enter if that's the buffer you want, or type the first few characters of the correct buffer name and press Tab. Emacs fills in the rest of the name.
To close the current window, type C-x 0 (zero this time, not O). To close all windows except the current one, type C-x 1.
Emacs refers to gui windows as 'frames', and the partitions with a frame are called 'windows'.
You can open a file in a new frame with C-x 5 f. You can open a file in a different window in the same frame with C-x 4 f.
