In ACL one starts a process with a function as follows:

(mp::process-run-function
            'start-raps
            rap::rap-state* 2 nil)

where you give process-run-function the function name and the rest are the args to that function.

I couldn't really find how to do that in abcl.  system::run-program was the closest thing but the definition in the manual didn't seem to be what I was looking for.

Any help in this direction would be appreciated.
