I'm using sml-mode (Stefan Monnier) with emacs. The compiler is smlnj, on a laptop. However, when invoking the SML compiler, that splits the emacs frame into two windows, each fits 12 lines. How can I have the SML program editing buffer in its own emacs frame, and the SML-Inferior-Mode buffer on a separate emacs frame? Thank you.

You're probably using "window" and "frame" in the opposite meaning to their normal usage in Emacs lingo: gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Frames.html

Thank you Thomas, I've made the swap.

It was really straight!
First, invoke the SML compiler: C-c C-b
it asks for the default SML System: SMLNJ, MosML, etc.
type the name of the compiler to invoke, or press RETURN key to accept the default, if any.
Then, have the compiler window to display on its own frame, C-x 5 2
To kill (delete) the compiler window from within the SML program editing window, visit that window (either C-x o (letter o)) or by mouse. Then press C-x 0 (zero).
