OK, I see how this works. While in the current environment, e.g., itemize within frame, edit menu includes the items "Start new environment", and "Start new Parent Environment", and these do just what I want. This is much more productive than the older way of moving on to the next beamer slide, I just need to learn it. I wonder if there's somewhere to put a hint for new/old(forgetful) users "To add a new slide..."
