 JR> How do I start a second shell in NTemacs?  M-x shell brings up an existing 
shell.

M-x shell looks for a buffer called *shell* and switches to that if it exists,
so the simple way is:

M-x shell
M-x rename-buffer RET *original-shell*
M-x shell

You now have 2 shell buffers, one called *shell* and one called *original-shell*

There is probably some nice package or other to automate this, but I dunno
what/where.  No doubt some other helpful soul will point the way :-)
