Use the window command to create a new window on the screen. You'll
also want to look at the wset, wdelete and wshow commands in order to
work with multiple windows at one time.

Each window has an ID associated with it. When you create a new window,
get the ID of the window and then you can jump back and forth between
which window you're plotting to. Even though commands like plot will
create a window for you, it's easier to track this if you explicitly
create the window yourself.

; Create two windows
window, 0
window, 1

; Draw something to the first window and then the second
wset, 0
plot, findgen(11)
wset, 1
plot, findgen(11)
