Function Application is not Currying

In Jon Harrop's book Ocaml for Scientist at
http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ocaml_for_scientists/chapter1.html
It says:
Currying
A curried function is a function which returns a function as its
result.
Curry, is that like chicken soup or some Indian mash?
"Currying" is named after someone called Curry. The 'correct' term is
"partial parameterisation", which explains why it's often called
"Currying" instead! :-)
Why ? How about returning an index number into an array of function pointers
as handlers from packet data?
Oh, thats network communications.
