This is called a MDI (Multiple Document Interface) form, and AFAIK BlitzPlus doesn't support that yet and probably won't support that for a long while. The reason is that the current code only supports one window receiving messages. For this to work correctly you need multiple windows all capable of receiving and handling messages. Without code objects (classes) this would be really difficult to handle.
For this kind of windows you should use the GUI programming languages like VB, C++, .Net, Delphi? etc. Blitz is still geared towards the game programmer even though we have some gadgets now. I believe it's intended use was window games.

That my $0.02 anyway.
