Robert: Isn't this clear? If not, where is it confusing? There are no folders to create, files to copy, nothing like that,

From the Help file:
Setting up a new Instance To create a new Instance say it is named BILL) 1.Copy an existing SPFLite shortcut and rename it to identify the Instance. 2.Open Properties for the shortcut. 3.Edit the Target command in the Windows Shortcut and add -INSTANCE BILL (or just -I BILL) 4.If desired at this point, change the Icon to one of the alternate ones provided. The Icons are located in the normal install folder where the EXE file was placed. 5.Close the Properties. 6.Double click the Icon. 7.You will see the following Prompt: 1.Choose the name of the current Instance from the drop-down menu which is to be copied as the initial settings for the new BILL instance. 2.Select the Unique options. When selected (Ticked) it indicates you wish to make these items unique for the new Instance. If unticked, it means you want this new Instance to share the DEFAULT versions. 3.Select DONE. The Instance will be created and SPFLite will continue initialization. 4.The Instance can later be customized as you desire using OPTIONS, KEYMAP, etc.

Robert: You're trying to meld the two functions of changing the Config and those of setting up an Instance.
They are related but separate events.
1. Do Options => Config and get your CFG and data paths placed where you want them. There is one and only one Home and Data folder, regardless of how many Instances there are.
2. Follow the instructions above to create a new Instance.
3. THEN, while running under that new instance, customize it as you like.
Don't even think of asking for some combined, all-in-one tool to do this in one step. The bootstrap process is way too involved to cope with doing this all in some new command.
