Is it possible to have two cards open concurrently? I want card #2 to be running while card #1 is displayed.

Hi.
No way.
But you certainly can have two cards in two stacks open at the same time. Or twelve. You can manage this to make it look any way you want, and there is no real downside to having multiple stacks.

To elaborate a little on what Craig has told you, you can have substacks of your mainstack or you could have multiple mainstacks. Substacks are stored within the code of your mainstack and are somewhat more convenient and user foolproof. Separate mainstacks require more care in installing the finished software and in opening the stacks but offer the possibly valuable benefit of being able to save permanent changes which your application's primary mainstack (the one you actually open to launch your app) and its substacks cannot. Just make sure you know which you're creating -- "new mainstack" or "new substack of <some_stack>" in the file menu!
