Thanks, Rich.

I tried this, as I'd never started Sqpe in a window by itself. I see that it looks just like a linux version of Splus. I issued the command source(test.ssc) and everything worked well. Sqpe doesn't seem to be sensitive to running more than one copy of itself, as two simultaneous runs ran flawlessly. Yes, I know (from experience!) about having two S sessions trying to use the same data directory.

I'll play with this a bit and see what else I can learn. I've also sent a support request of to Insightful to get their suggestions. I now have some fair-sized Monte Carlo runs to make, and I'll break them up into parallel runs using this technique.

It is just as easy from a pair of MSDOS windows.

I have  c:\progra~1\Insightful\SPLUS62\ in my path.

I cd to the appropriate directories, and then execute
     c:\progra~1\Insightful\SPLUS62\cmd\Sqpe.exe

Be sure that each instance is in a different directory.  If two S processes
try to work on the same directory, they will step on each others toes.
