If you want to produce to holes that is the command you should look for [Hole]. In this case, you will see the back faces through the hole - not internal faces. If you need that, then you may need to use Intrude which you can define a thickness for the mesh.

Wings3D works with closed meshes, so you will not be able to remove the faces with any other way.

yes, that will not work.

Do a test with Inset [LMB]. Moving the mouse you will "scale" the new face and keeping pressed the [LMB] and dragging the mouse you will bump the face.
