How do I run multiple shells (in different buffers) in emacs?

Hello,

I hope this will help

Quote:

M-x rename-uniquely renames the current buffer to a similar name with a numeric suffix added to make it both different and unique. This command does not need an argument. It is useful for creating multiple shell buffers: if you rename the `*Shell*', then do M-x shell again, it makes a new shell buffer named `*Shell*'; meanwhile, the old shell buffer continues to exist under its altered name. This method is also good for mail buffers, compilation buffers, and any Emacs feature which creates a special buffer with a particular name.

Thanks! I didn't realize it was just a matter of buffer names.
