+MULTIPLE WINDOWS
+----------------
+
+One of the nice features of Emacs is that you can display more than one
+window on the screen at the same time.
+
+>> Move the cursor to this line and type C-u 0 C-l.
+
+>> Now type C-x 2 which splits the screen into two windows.
+   Both windows display this tutorial.  The cursor stays in the top window.
+
+>> Type C-M-v to scroll the bottom window.
+
+>> Type C-x o ("o" for "other") to move the cursor to the bottom window.
+>> Use C-v and M-v in the bottom window to scroll it.
+   Keep reading these directions in the top window.
+
+>> Type C-x o again to move the cursor back to the top window.
+   The cursor is still just where it was in the top window before.
+
+You can keep using C-x o to switch between the windows.  Each
+window has its own cursor position, but only one window actually
+shows the cursor.  All the ordinary editing commands apply to the
+window that the cursor is in.
+
+The command C-M-v is very useful when you are editing text in one
+window and using the other window just for reference.  You can keep
+the cursor always in the window where you are editing, and edit
+there as you advance through the other window.
+
+>> Type C-x 1 (in the top window) to get rid of the bottom window.
+
+(If you had typed C-x 1 in the bottom window, that would get rid
+of the top one.  Think of this command as "Keep just one
+window--the window I am already in.")
+
+You don't have to display the same buffer in both windows.  If
+you use C-x C-f to find a file in one window, the other window
+doesn't change.  You can pick a file in each window
+independently.
+
+Here is another way to use two windows to display two different
+things:
+
+>> Type C-x 4 C-f followed by the name of one of your files.
+   End with <RETURN>.  See the specified file appear in the bottom
+   window.  The cursor goes there, too.
+
+>> Type C-x o to go back to the top window, and C-x 1 to delete
+   the bottom window.
