It appears you have become alien to either Emacs or the horizon. Ok, Since I can provide this info very easily: C-x 2 runs the command split-window-vertically which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `window'. It is bound to C-x 2, <menu-bar> <files> <split-window>. (split-window-vertically &optional ARG) Split current window into two windows, one above the other. The uppermost window gets ARG lines and the other gets the rest. Negative arg means select the size of the lowermost window instead. With no argument, split equally or close to it. Both windows display the same buffer now current. If the variable `split-window-keep-point' is non-nil, both new windows will get the same value of point as the current window. This is often more convenient for editing. Otherwise, we chose window starts so as to minimize the amount of redisplay; this is convenient on slow terminals. The new selected window is the one that the current value of point appears in. The value of point can change if the text around point is hidden by the new mode line. [back] > C-x 5.

It is bound to C-x 5 2, <menu-bar> <files> <make-frame>. (make-frame-command) Make a new frame, and select it if the terminal displays only one frame.
