When I try to run the program twice by double clicking in Mac OS, I still only get one running process. This seems like a very serious limitation. Is there a way around this?<hr size="1px" noshade style="clear:both;margin-top:10px;height:1px;">

Mentioned this to my son, who had an intel mac laptop on his lap, and he
said, Command-N.

And showed me a number of programs for which it worked, by typing 
command-N when the program's first window had focus.

Including DrRacket.
