You shouldn't rely too much on the outliners, they are nowhere near what SI Explorer is. But if you must, and want to open multiple outliners ala Softimage, you can do it with something like this:
// MEL //------------------------------------- window -t "Outliner" -wh 200 500; frameLayout -labelVisible false; string $panel = `outlinerPanel`; showWindow; //------------------------------------- Yeah, you have to script a lot in Maya. Even for stupid things like this. Knowing basic scripting in SI is very useful, but in Maya, not knowing basic scripting may be critical.
