Yes.  Define an alias which looks like this:

  alias newsksh='$(which newshell) CON:10/60/550/200/SKsh_Window'

(You might have to adjust the size if it won't fit in your screen).  Now
when you type 'newsksh' from SKsh, you will get a new window running
SKsh.

The problem with your alias is that as soon as SKsh sees the exit statement,
it exits.  Try defining a LOGOUT variable like this:

   LOGOUT='endcli'

Now, when you exit SKsh, the calling window will go away (unless, of course,
there are other processess which are still talking to it).  You can then
exit without destroying the window by using the 'quit' alias which is
defined in the .skshinit file.
