Each document template has a set of resources associated with it, the first
parameter to the constructor. One of these resources is a string table
entry. You can look at the help for GetDocString to see the breakout of this
string. The third substring of this string is called the fileNewName. If
this substring is null then this document template will not show up in the
file new dialog. Therefore, if only one of your document template strings
has a fileNewName, then it becomes the "default" template for file new and
you never see the file new dialog.

Since OnFileNew (after the change above) will only open one type of view,
you will need to add your own method to open these other views. There are
methods of the frame window class to walk the list of open child frames. You
will have to do this and count the number of times the desired view is open.
Then respond accordingly.
