RE: [h-e-w] Starting a second shell

[Ray Cardenas]

This is what I've been using from my .emacs.  Same thing other people are
saying.

(defun new-shell ()
 "Run shell, but always open another shell and rename the current *shell*
buffer uniquely."
  (interactive)
  (let ((shell-buffer (get-buffer "*shell*")))
      (if shell-buffer 
          (progn (set-buffer shell-buffer) (rename-uniquely) (shell))
        (shell))))

How do I start a second shell in NTemacs?  M-x shell brings up an existing
shell.
