Fast Linux/Unix Programming Question
I'm working on a programming project for my university class, and in order for me to work on it effectively, I need to have multiple C source files open in nedit at once.  I'm connected remotely to the Unix network through Xming, and I'm running everything through the CLI.  My question is this:  How can I open multiple nedit windows through the CLI?  I'm currently running in the bash shell.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

If "nedit" is the command you use to open an instance of the editor, you should just be able to use "nedit&".  That will open up an instance of the editor while maintaining your shell prompt.  Just repeat it for as many instances as you need.

Thanks.  That was what I was looking for, I just couldn't remember the input.
