I still don't think you quite get it. There are "windows" (which you create with C-a c), and there are "regions" (which is how the screen is split up). Normally you only have one region, so it appears that creating a new window fills up the whole pane. But really each region can contain any of the windows you've created. Once you've split your screen into different regions, anything you do happens just inside that one region until you either kill it or switch to a different one. So any new windows you create will be created in whatever region you happen to be in when you enter C-a c. Walt
