C-x 5 is a prefix key, with frame (ie, GUI window) bindings---create a
frame, find file in new frame, switch to buffer in other frame, etc.
C-x 5 C-h will give a list.

C-x 3 will split the window horizontally (ie, into side-by-side
windows).

Note that the frame creating functions work even on a TTY; you can
create several complex window formats (eg, a mail reader screen, or an
ediff screen) and switch among them with C-x 5 functions.  Think of it
as if you had a window system but all frames must be full-screen.  You
see and type into the one on top.

GNU Emacs lagged many years in providing this technology, so their
bindings may differ substantially.
