I'm running

me@it:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	LinuxMint

Release:	1
Codename:	debian
me@it:~$ uname -a
Linux it 3.0.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 24 02:24:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1

I was just dired-ing a folder of PDFs, where I did

to display one. I then tried to display another in the same way, but got

How can I run multiple simultaneous async-shell-command?
Or is there another/better way to do what I want?

TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
