netscape on more than one display

Postby jonah » Fri 08 Nov, 2002 12:28 pm

I'm trying to open the help files for my program via netscape 4.78 (on Red Had 7.1), and am running into the problem that when I open netscape on one display (running windows2000, logged into my linux box with exceed) it works fine, but when I open netscape on a second display the window(s) on the first display disappear. I guess that kinda makes sense since I'm logged in as the same user on both displays, but does anyone know of a way to stop that from happening? It's important that the users logged in at each display be the same, so I can't just have different users.

Any help you can give me would be great!

Thanks,
jonah

Have you tried File/New/open in a new window? If you do that, one display will be available in the toolbar, while you can open a new window with another display, and you can go back and forth. In NS7, the tabs accomplish the same thing.
