How to open two bash shells in Emacs

How to open two bash shells in Emacs

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
I often run bash within emacs with the command M-x shell. It all goes
fine, but sometimes I would need two bash shells, since I may be
operating more or less simultaneously on files on different locations
and it is tedious to re-input every time their path. However, how does
one open simultaneously two shells within emacs?
Repeating M-x shell does not do what I want.
Cheers

Lorenzo

C-u M-x shell RET ?

Or rename the first shell's buffer and then type M-x shell RET again.

I recall, xemacs will just let you open second shell automatically. I
think that is a better behavior.
