Multiple instances?

[richmond62]

Suppose I wish to open multiple instances of LiveCode on MacOS like this:

Code: Select all

open -n -a LiveCode

1. How can I send that command to the Mac Terminal app?

2. Is it possible for several instances of LiveCode to communicate with one another?

Hi Richmond,

1. from within LC?

Code: Select all

## Maybe you need to supply the full path to your LC installation
put "open -n -a LiveCode" into tShell
get shell(tShell)

2. No idea.

Best

Indeed: Thanks Klaus: I did supply the full path to the app.

That is NOT the real problem: I just wonder if I can initiate multiple instances and communicate between them as a way of effecting multithreading.
