I usually have a single buffer displaying a file.  And want the file displayed
in a new frame.  But you have outlined that I can have an additional window
showing the file.

Am bit indecisive what to do.  Does one just make the file appear in a new
buffer, leaving the rest (possibility of other windows showing same file) 
intact ?  What would you suggest ?
