Hello; If one starts up Mathematica on a windows PC (XP), and then starts another Mathematica (i.e. 2 completely separate Mathematica, not a new notebook within the same Mathematica). (I think one can start at most 2 per PC, can't check this now). My question is that, would the front ends of these 2 instances share the same Kernel? i.e. may be when the second Mathematica comes up, it detects that there is already Mathematica kernel running on the PC, and will use that? I am asking because I seem to notice a bit of weirdness when I do the above, something that could be explained by both front ends sharing the same kernel, but it could be my imagination. If one brings up 2 Mathematica applications on the same, is there anything they share? thanks, Nasser
