Summary
You've learned the ins and outs of manipulating the shape of your Emacs session—how to create and control multiple frames, how to split and partition any of these frames into multiple windows, and how to maneuver through frames and windows. You've also learned other tricks, including how to manipulate frames and windows with the mouse and how to deal with the mouse pointer—and these are all good, powerful techniques for making Emacs work (and look) the way you want it to.
