In this video we'll learn the differences between Emacs Windows, Frames, and Buffers, and how to use them to get work done in Emacs. An Emacs "Frame" is the full circumference around the Emacs box... You can have multiple frames open at a time. An Emacs Frame is equivalent to a "Window" in other programs. An Emacs "Window" is kind of like the "pane" of a window. Each frame can be split into chunks. You can split an Emacs frame into two or more "windows" that display contents of files or directories. Lastly, an emacs "Buffer" is the contents of a file or directory. A "Buffer" is displayed inside windows, and windows are displayed inside panes. You can have multiple windows viewing the same buffer, and therefore, when you edit the contents of a buffer, all the windows with the same buffer will be affected, and you'll see the changes your making in all windows that have the same buffer open.
