Emacs Through Putty

So I opened emacs through putty by executing the command "emacs -nw FILENAME", where emacs opens up with the desired file. I split the screen in emacs in order to open different file by executing the command "C-x 2" in emacs to split the window horizontally so that I can view two windows at a time.

My question is, now that I can view both files next to each other through the split screen, how do I edit the other file? (I can't use the mouse to click on the other file (other split window) to edit it because I can only use key commands when using emacs through putty)

Another tip to use the other window as a terminal is to run: M-x term

You might want to try the Emacs tutorial which will explain those things. Also, I believe it is possible to get mouse clicks to work under putty: try M-x xterm-mouse-mode.

Use C-x o, other-window.

See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Other-Window.html.
