Duncan has posted the method several times to this list, so I got this from
him :o)  You can probably google on PAN_HOME to read his old posts.

Start the second instance of pan with the PAN_HOME variable set to an
alternative to the ~/.pan directory like this:

$PAN_HOME=~/.pan-binary  pan

This will create a new directory ~/.pan-binary, where pan will store all of
its stuff relating to binary groups.

To change subjects in mid-stream, I just noticed that K. Haley has added
the patch to store all downloads as non-executable.  Someone asked about
that not too long ago but I don't know which thread it was in.
