Well you are running afoul of the finder. You see when you double
clock on that squeak icon, the finder looks and sees that squeak is
already running so you don't get another instance running.
However as already pointed out if you drop down into the squeak
application executable directory say
/Users/johnmci/Documents/Squeak3.2.7osx/build/Squeak
3.2.7Beta6.app/Contents/MacOS
and invoke ./Squeak VM Opt
then well yes unix just launches that executable. I've tried this,
seems to work.
First glance would assume you could do
open Squeak\ 3.2.7Beta6.app
from the directory that contains the *.app which is a bit easier. See
man open. But this follows the same logic as the finder and you can't
run multiple copies.
