I am messing around with the BYOND default interface, and I was wondering how I could use the menus to swap panes about like the image you can view by clicking here.

Look up the winset() proc, and the left/right skin params.

Ex:

mob/verb/Swap_Chat_And_Browser()
     var/swap
     if(winget(usr,"child1","left")=="browser")
            swap = 1
            winset(usr,"child1","left=chat")
     else
            swap = 2
            winset(usr,"child2","left=chat")
     winset(usr,"child[swap]","left=browser")


It's not a very good example (just got home from soccer conditioning) but it should suffice.

In addition to Jeff's post, you have to put the info control and output/input controls in their own separate panes. In that screenshot it looks like they are all in one window.

Yeah, I already knew that part, that screen shot wasn't even my game. I just used that so you guys could see what I meant.
