Hi Leonard, one thing you may be running into is that when MoI opens multiple files, the windows are stacked exactly on top of each other instead of slightly offset from one another.
So you may need to move whichever one is on top over a bit before you will be able to see the second one.
Failing that, the main way that I actually tested opening up a second file is by using the "New Window" menu item on the "MoI" dropdown menu at the top of the screen. So if you're having some issue opening stuff directly from Finder instead try using that menu item inside of MoI, once the new window is open when it has focus you can then do Cmd+O to control what file will be loaded into that particular instance.

Yeah MoI behaves differently from other Mac apps in this respect - it's due to its origin on Windows where the standard file open behavior is a bit different.
In MoI doing an "Open" will open the file replacing the contents of the current window. If you want it to open in a separate window, first do a "New Window" from the top-level menu item and then you will have a second window open. Put focus on the second window and use Open there to open your second file at the same time.
