Programming, debugging two Propellors with one Windows PC

in Propeller 1
I have a project with two prop 1 chips, each connected with a prop plug. Say one prop is COM6 and the other COM28. Each has its own program. How do I tell Propellor Tool which COM to use. I know how to tell pst which to listen to; I want to tell the Tool which to, for example, download to. Thank you for your kind attention.

    You can specify the COM Port in the Propeller Tool under Edit / Preferences...

    Go to the operation tab and select a COM port instead of AUTO.

    Okay, thanks. Sounds good if I can just keep track of which is which :snooty:

    I often have multiple Propeller connected to my Window machine. I keep multiple instance of PST open and uncheck the "automatically disable when application is inactive" box in the Prefs... menu.

    The Propeller tool won't use any com ports which are enabled in PST.

    I select which Prop I want the Prop Tool to load by disabling the port in PST.

    Edit: I should add I don't think this technique is any better than the one Chris suggested, it's just the way I've done it for years so I'm used to doing it this way.
