Bill,
I think you can accomplish what you want by starting your first instance of PDOX as usual and then
starting the second instance by using the "p" switch on the command line to tell PDOX that you want to use a
different private directory-i.e. "pdxwin32 -p e:\private" with e:\private being the directory PDOX will use as
your private directory for the 2nd instance-if you run 5.0 or earlier versions, you should probably use the
"n" switch also as this tells it not to write changes about your private directory back to your win.ini file
hope this is what you were looking for
