Yes Carolina. There are a few ways 1) EXECUTE "PHANTOM XXXX some other stuff interpreted as variables" 2) MYSTUFF = "here are some more arguments" WRITE MYSTUFF TO FILE, ITEM EXECUTE "PHANTOM XXXX" (which starts by reading MYSTUFF) 3) disconnected processes process A writes stuff and moves on process B at some other disconnected time EXECUTE "PHANTON XXXX" which reads the stuff writen by process A five minutes or five days ago 4) process A, B, C, D, E, etc write various stuff at various times process P starts the PHANTOM at boot time and it runs forever. The phantom periodically wakes up and looks for something to do, does it, then goes to sleep for a minute or so.
