You can create multiple window 'frames' using my frame tools available
at http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/frame.html
All plot parameters are saved for each frame. You can even save the
frames to a platform independent SAVE file which can then be reloaded
during a future IDL session on the same platform, or any other platform
that runs the same version of IDL.
Cheers,
Liam.

See the WINDOW and WSET commands.
Also, try setting !P.MULTI = [ 0, 2, 1 ] for multiple plots in one window.
