You should be able to see that, by looking at the far left edge of the
mode line: there, to the left of the buffer name, you will see the
frame name, which is normally F1, F2, etc. When a new frame is
displayed, you get Fn with n one more than the last one you saw.
Usually, you will see F2 where before that you saw F1.

You don't use Emacs on a TTY too much, do you? ;-)
Of course, it's sensible. Emacs still maintains separate faces,
separate buffer lists, etc. for each frame, even though only one is
visible at a time. So you could use each frame for a separate related
groups of tasks, e.g. develop code in one, read email in another, etc.
We have set-frame-name and select-frame-by-name to make this kind of
workflow easier, btw.
