Menu
Use Ctrl-x f to open a file from within Emacs. Create a new file in the same way as opening a file by specifying the new filename. The new file will not be saved unless specified. Save a file that is currently open by entering the Ctrl-x Ctrl-s command.
Switching between files is much more comfortable within a single emacs session. Much better to use the multiple buffer feature of emacs. If you are editing the first file and want to start editing the second file, simply use the hot key C-x C-f or the menu selection File->Open File to start the second file.
Most text editors have a navigation pane that lets you see all the files you currently have open. Or a pane that lets you browse a file directory.
