Someone asked this:
I searched through the User Manual of WS5 but couldn't find I what I'm
looking for: is there a way to open two instances of the Concord
funtion (respectively with 2 different stopword lists)? That would be
a great help, since I am working with two languages and have to make
comparisons back and forth within the corpora in these two languages.

You can't open 2 instances of the whole program, I'm afraid. But you
can of any given tool. The problem is that a stoplist is shared
between all instances of Concord. What I suppose you could try is
a) do your L1 concordancing with an L1 stoplist, then afterwards (but
keeping the L1 results visible on screen)
b) do some L2 concordancing after clearing the L1 stoplist and loading
another (as well as changing the language setting, of course).

Cheers -- Mike
