I let Owl know I only had one instance of terminal running (you can have two but it is not the norm... so uncommon Sandman said it was not even possible).

Which, of course, I never said. Indeed, quite the opposite. So yet another lie from Snit.

Ah, you said you had to copy the binary to run another instance... in other words, create another application to do so, and thus be running a different binary. Here is the actual exchange where this was discussed:

Sandman: ----- While you can copy the binary and run another instance (not that I've tried) the terminal application is just one binary and what you see are different windows in that process. Each window is addressed separately in the loop. I.e. -----

Owl: ----- Why would you need to copy the binary just to run another instance? -----

Snit: ----- You do not need to. Sandman is just being silly there. I have a Service I wrote which will open an app in a new instance. I never use it so not sure why I have the "clutter." :)

open -n [Application] -----

So you are welcome, Sandman, for the education I gave you even as you troll me and lie about me.
