Multiple concurrent SL clients?

I'm trying to have two separate SL clients open on the same computer; one for each alt. The hardware is plenty capable (AMD 9550, 2Gb DDR2, 8600GT video) of doing this but SL simply refuses to launch a second instance.

I know there's a way to specify this on the command line, as I've had it working before, but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Anyone know offhand?

And why isn't there a command line argument reference packaged with the program?

It's "-multiple"

It is, give SL a command line option of "-help".

Or look in the wiki:

BTW, checking for some kind of --help, -help or -? flag is always a good idea if you can't find a manpage for a program. Most have this.
