vim myfile.txt #open one file in one window

:buffers #shows one buffer with "myfile.txt" in it

:sp #create split window; we now have one buffer with two windows.

:e newfile.txt #create new buffer with new filename in first window

:buffers #shows two buffers (myfile.txt & newfile.txt), each in own window

vim myfile.txt  # open one file in one window
:buffers        " shows one buffer with "myfile.txt" in it
:sp             " create split window; we now have one buffer with two windows.
:e newfile.txt  " create new buffer with new filename in first window
:buffers        " shows two buffers (myfile.txt & newfile.txt), each in own window
