Create more than one eshell instance in emacs

Question

Think: tiling my emacs window with eshells, a la xmonad. Is this possible? I can M-x eshell to open the first eshell instance but future invocations just focus the first instance.

Answer 1

You can do this:

`C-u M-x eshell`

This will create *eshell*, *eshell*<2>, and so on.
