OS X applications do not spawn separate processes if they are re-launched-- they pass focus to the one that is already running. However, you can access R from the OS X terminal and run as many different sessions as you want. Hope this helps! -Charlie -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/How-do-I-run-to-or-more-R-consoles-on-Mac-OS-X-tp930979p930991.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Be careful though, because these inherit environment variables from the terminal session, not necessarily the same as those when running the app from the Finder. I was bitten by that the first time I tried this.
