-===== Opening more than one Database at a time =====
+===== Open Several Databases at Once =====
+With PediTree, it is possible to have two (or more) copies running at the same time, each showing a different database. This wasn't anticipated initially, but several users have found it to work without issues.  So here is some information about this.
+==== Setting up ====
+There are several ways to set up multiple copies of PediTree for this purpose. Some work well, others are a bit clumsy. Working in Windows 10, here is one setup that seems easy to use.
+  * Open PediTree in your usual way, with no database open.
+  * Pin this to the taskbar (if you haven't done this anyway).
+  * Right-click on this Taskbar image, then click on **PediTree** to open another copy. Repeat if needed.
+  * Open the desired databases in the PediTree copies, sizing and arranging as needed on your display.
