These lines are in erlisp/src/node.lisp: (defvar *current-node* (make-instance 'local-node)) (defun current-node () "Return the current/local node." *current-node*) This suggests that there is only one local-node and that it is also called the current-node. My interpretation, then, is that all other nodes will be associated with separate Lisp invocations. In other words, without distributed processing there can be only one node. Is this right? Also, the only place I have seen nodes used is in test/process.lisp, which only tests whether a created process is associated with current-node. Are there any other uses for nodes so far? Eric
