The setup for running multiple viewers is pretty straight forward.
For PC:
Find a shortcut of Second Life. You may already have one on your desktop. If you need to find the executable (SecondLife.exe) so you can make a shortcut, Second Life is usually located in this directory:
C:\Program Files\SecondLife
Right-click the shortcut and choose Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab.
In the Target field, next to the path to the directory containing Second Life, insert a space and "-multiple". Like this:
"C:\Program Files\SecondLife" -multiple
For mac:
1. Open Script Editor
1. Open the Applications folder
2. Open the AppleScript folder
3. Double-click the Script Editor icon
2. Paste the following bit of code into the editor:
tell application "Terminal"
do script "nohup \"/Applications/Second Life.app/Contents/MacOS/Second Life\" -multiple &"
delay 1
quit
end tell
3. Save as "Second Life - Multiple", choose your Applications folder. The File Format should be "application" and for the Options, you should have "Run Only" checked and not the others.
4. A Second Life - Multiple icon will now be available within your Applications folder. Run it as many times as you like for a new instance of Second Life.
