You have to use the File->New menu. But there are shortcuts 
(Ctrl-N on Linux) to do that from the keyboard if that helps.

You can also import the file into the interpreter for testing but 
that can lead to problems if you change it and have to try to 
reload it.

Personally I prefer to just run the file separately using 
Run Module (F5) and see the output in the shell window.
