> PA> You can have multiple frames in text mode too.

Yeah, probably :-) Have you tried it? multiple frames on a tty is
unpleasant at best, the ordering isn't consistent (or at least I don't
have a good model for it) and I've seen no way of naming frames... On
the other hand, I've used "wicos" (WIndow COnfigurations, used to be
called screens):
;; LCD Archive Entry:
;; wicos|Heikki Suopanki|suopanki@phoenix.oulu.fi|
;; Save and restore multiple window configurations within Emacs.|
;; 92-04-07|1.3|~/misc/wicos.el.Z|  

for *years* and it gives a nice model for handling this.  One wico has
gnus, one has some interactive messaging stuff, then others simply
have different projects.
