+Viewing Multiple Analyses
+-------------------------
+
+Some times it is useful to view more than one analysis at a time. To
+do accomplish this, Mussa allows you to open a new Mussa window by
+selecting the **File > New Mussa Window** menu option.

+   experiment.
+
+Now you can create or load an existing analysis, in this new window,
+as described in the `Create/Load Analysis`_ section. 
+
+You can view as many analyses as you can fit on your screen or until
+you run out of available RAM. If you notice a rapid decrease in
+performance and hear lots of noise coming from your hard drive, you
+probably ran out of RAM and are now using virtual memory (i.e. much
+much slower). If this happens, you may need to avoid opening as many
+analyses at one time.
