AIR, as I recall, the SML equivalent is: var TM: thread_manager in def forkthread(): TM.add( True, False ) in if forkthread() thing_to_do() else other_thing_to() where programs can refer to a thread_manager along with a memory, which yes, is even in a functional language, well-defined. thread_manager altertantely beta-reduces one expression at a time in round-robin succession. thread_manager.add duplicates the current expression, and evaluates to True in one and False in the other. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
