Mostly, I dunno.  Not having really looked at it in depth myself.
My suggestion would be to open multiple windows (from the File menu
pick New Window) and if need be login multiple times.  (But I don't
think you'll have to login multiple times.)  You may
find that using tabs (which is from the File menu or via middle
mouse click on a link) with Firefox 
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox)
instead of Mozilla is easier.  Tabs are easier for me.  I think Mozilla
will do tabs too but it has to be turned on and I don't know about the
middle click, which I use all the time.

Ok.

There are others but this is the only one that's installed.  Its the
one that Duke uses so we figured we'd try it first.
