If I opened another file in another directory another window of emacs would also be opened.  I can't seem to replicate this behaviour in Aquamacs - is it because it is an app based OS rather than window based?

Hi, Trevor.

If you open a file with ^X 5 f (find-file-other-frame), Aquamacs
will open a new frame for the file (which is another window in
the usual terminology of Mac apps). You can switch to an existing
buffer in a new frame with ^X 5 b.

Does that do what you want?
