Propeller Tool - Multiple instances?

Is it possible to have two instances of the Prop Tool open? I am working on sending data between two protoboards and having one version of the prop tool (associated to one board) on each of two monitors would be useful. I can't figure out how to do it - is it even possible?

I am using v1.3.2 on Win 7.

    I just tried it it does not look like it. Maybe someone knows a "trick" for this?

    Yes. There is a menu configuration item to do this. Just cannot recall its name. I did this a looong time ago.

    I had four instances of the Prop Tool running when I noticed this thread.

    From the "Edit" menu select "Preferences". Select the "Files & Folders" Tab. Uncheck the "Associated files launch into single editor". Now when you double click on a Spin file it will open in a new instance of the Prop Tool.

    Often making a copy of the .EXE works. E.g.VLC.EXE and VLC2.EXE works.

    Aha! Marvellous. Thank you.
