Using Other Windows
Select another window (`other-window'). That is `o', not zero.
Scroll the next window (`scroll-other-window').
Find next place where the text in the selected window does not
match the text in the next window.
To select a different window, use `C-x o' (`other-window'). That is
an `o', for `other', not a zero. When there are more than two windows,
this command moves through all the windows in a cyclic order, generally
top to bottom and left to right. After the rightmost and bottommost
window, it goes back to the one at the upper left corner. A numeric
argument means to move several steps in the cyclic order of windows. A
negative argument moves around the cycle in the opposite order. When
the minibuffer is active, the minibuffer is the last window in the
cycle; you can switch from the minibuffer window to one of the other
windows, and later switch back and finish supplying the minibuffer
argument that is requested. Note: Minibuffer Edit.
The usual scrolling commands (Note: Display.) apply to the selected
window only, but there is one command to scroll the next window.
`C-M-v' (`scroll-other-window') scrolls the window that `C-x o' would
select. It takes arguments, positive and negative, like `C-v'. (In
the minibuffer, `C-M-v' scrolls the window that contains the minibuffer

The command `M-x compare-windows' lets you compare two files or
buffers visible in two windows, by moving through them to the next
mismatch. Note: Comparing Files.
