I've included below the config I have in .gnus.el which may get you
started.  It sets things up like this (pic stolen from gnus info
Window Layout doc):

          +---+---------+
          | G | Summary |
          | r +---------+
          | o |         |
          | u | Article |
          | p |         |
          +---+---------+

It also is opens a new frame for composing messages.  However, it
doesn't open a new frame for replies :-(

You should be able to read the gnus manual from Emacs using C-h i and
then finding gnus.

This maybe is getting too off topic for this list, sorry folks.
