[racket] multiple instances of compiled for distribution software

Cmd-N typically just opens a new window in the current instance. Use cmd-tab or look in the Dock, and you'll see you still only have one instance of your program running. Explicitly invoking the executable inside the .app bundle will produce a separate instance -- you can see on cmd-tab that you have two instances running.

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.
