Thanks Josh,

My past usage was based on each instance using a separate folder and that worked well. I was concerned that I was missing something with the menu option. I understand now, thanks.

Each instance should be in it's own folder **if** you want to keep the ALL.TXT, *,log,
and *.adi files properly sorted.

A while back, I submitted a change so that each instance of wsjtx obtained
a global UID (GUID) resource, whether or not the "multiple instances" was checked.

WSJT-X uses the GUID when it launches its associated jt9 instance, so
that they are both using the same-name (GUID) shared memory segment.

I routinely run 8 different instances per computer, everything stays sorted.

Take care,
