I think these preferences are independent of creating multiple
instances of DrScheme (assuming you mean multiple OS-level processes).
If, on the other hand, you want to make sure people can only edit one
file at a time in drscheme, and have to close old files before opening
new ones ... well, ok. But that uses lots less memory than actually
creating separate drscheme's at the OS level.

In any case, if you did want to do that to drscheme, you'd have to
change drscheme's source code.
