;-)
But One On One Emacs does *not* tie a buffer to a frame. Only
*Help*, *Completions*, and special-display buffers have dedicated
windows (by default).
You can split windows, visit a different buffer in the same frame,
or do anything else that you might normally do in Emacs. The main
difference is that when you display a buffer it typically pops up
in a separate frame.
