No, there's only one console in each instance.  That's pretty 
fundamental:  there is one master loop reading, evaluating and printing, 
and the console shows you what's going on there.

You can write your own front end to send things to the console (and 
somehow decide what to do when it's busy), but don't expect R to ever 
have more than one console.
