Hem, detailed steps, I dont' have time to provide. But anyways,
you have to configure each shape file in the data configuration
section just like you did with the first, and then issue wms
requests that do use more than one layer.

See the WMS 1.1.1 standard if you are doing direct request (www.opengeospatial.org), or your client documentation if you are using a javascript client such as MapBuilder or OpenLayers.

IHi Naseer,
When you make a WMS request there are two parameters: "layers=" and "styles="
To have geoserver render multiple layers (shapefiles) just append the layer names and their styles to the request. For example:
layers=topp:states,topp:mylayer,ggg:mylayer2&styles=population,mystyle1,mystyle2

here is a working example:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=142,-44,150,-39&Format=image/png&request=GetMap&layers=topp:tasmania_state_boundaries,topp:tasmania_cities,topp:tasmania_water_bodies&styles=green,simple_roads,cite_lakes&width=550&height=250&srs=EPSG:4326
