Yeah, I could see getting used to this behavior. I set things in Emacs
to not open new windows when you open new documents. I was just
curious as to why LyX did things this way, rather than the more
conventional way.

Unfortunately, I was working on a Mac, using the Mac version of
LyX. If you can have two copies of LyX running, I haven't figured out
how. Trying to launch LyX a second time just pops up the window for
the running copy. Opening a second .lyx file causes the running LyX to
try and open it.
Thanks,
