   You can either add a line to the global properties file:
buffers=10
   or do this on the command line:
SciTE -buffers=10
   10 buffers is the maximum currently available. This is caused by needing
to dimension UI elements and 10 makes it easy to assign accelerator keys.

   The reason this is the default is that I use SciTE in single document
mode and start extra processes if there is a need for having multiple files
open. There are still some bugs with multiple buffers although these are not
serious problems.

   An alternate set of properties files which sets up multiple buffers is
available from Philippe Lhoste's site:
