Good idea. I was looking at the script and noticed that there is a
setting/variable [_USE_EXIST = 1] that seems to trigger using the same
instance if set to 1. Might it be possible to set this = 0 and trigger new
instances that are independent? I'm not sure how or where this is set,
though. 

Also, would I have to create copies of the (apparently) several pieces of
code used by FF if I set up FF1, FF2, etc?

Again, thanks....
