I just installed Multibit HD, thinking it was going to be an upgrade.  What I found was that I can't create multiple wallets as I can in the older version.  At least if there is a way, I can't figure it out.  Is there a way?  The instructions on creating a wallet only pertain to "opening Multibit HD for the first time."  Please help.  This is extremely disappointing if I can only have one wallet.  I chose Multibit in the first places because of how easy it was to create and manage multiple wallets.  Please don't give me any comments about needing only one wallet.  Believe me, I need more than one for accounting purposes.

You can have multiple wallets in MultiBit HD.

On the screen where you enter your wallet password you can:
+ press the 'Create' button and you start the 'Create wallet' wizard
+ if you have several wallets you can choose the wallet you want to use in the drop down list

When you do an Exit/Switch you can either exit MultiBit HD entirely, or switch to a different wallet (you have to then enter THAT wallet's password)

Also, Trezor and KeepKey hardware wallets also create their own wallets. When you plug one of these in you get prompted as to whether you want to use it and the wallet is created in the background

I have raised an issue for our website to improve the help as it only talks about creating the FIRST wallet:
