>From all the discussions I've ever had with Emacs beginners, the need to
learn and master window-manipulation is one of the main sources of
difficulty in Emacs: most of the rest can be done in typically obvious ways
(now that we have menus and that arrows are sufficiently standard that
almost nobody needs to first learn C-p, C-n). But once you have
a split-window display, it's not straightforward to a newbie how to get back
to the single-window he's used to (the simplest way is probably "File ->
Remove Splits"). In contrast getting rid of a second frame is easy: just
click in the `X' in top corner of your window(frame).
