[Chimera-users] chimera --send with multiple Chimeras

[Dan Greenblatt]

I'd like to supplement Tom's response by saying that, when using 
   'chimera --send'
with multiple instances running, whichever Chimera has most recently 
gotten focus
(i.e. been clicked in) will receive the 'chimera --send' command . 

(Of course, as Tom said, clicking Favorites->Preferences->Web Data 
implicity gives that instance of chimera the focus, thus making it the 
most 'recent')
