     Can't you just set them up in different windows?  

      Under Xwindows, you can use "Netscape&" or use the command "xterm" to set
up a different window for emacs, or vi, or elm, or pine.  I'm sure you can do that
on Linux or AIX, or some other Unix OS.  Motif should be able to do it for you.

      I've never read the Unix manual.
