Yes, but the real question is what you mean by "a 2nd R console". I
guessed that you meant a second console for the same workspace, Brian
Ripley guessed that you meant another instance of R.

I never tried opening more than one instance of Rgui, but when I
wanted to run two jobs at the same time on one Win XP PC, I would run
one in Rgui and one in Rterm and I have never had a problem with that
setup.? As above, when I close my R session, I always say no to the
save question.

hello all, i'm forwarding this question for a colleague.
"Is it possible to open a 2nd R Console?"
The answer is probably "No", but since it isn't clear what your
colleague
means by "a 2nd R Console" or what OS this is, it's hard to be sure.
I would say the answer is almost certainly 'yes'.??In all the cases I
know
of if you launch 2 (or more) R consoles you will get separate R
processes
with separate workspaces.??The only problem I can envisage is that
they
might share a working directory and so the last one shut down could
overwrite the workspace image and history saved from other consoles.
(But that is only a problem if you save your work that way, and I
rarely
do.)
