Hello Augusto,

I know absolutely nothing about MicroWorlds, so sorry for asking what
might be trivial for you:

I don't understand what you mean by "process". Do you mean "procedure"?

You say that MW runs paralelly several "processes". How is it that done
on a single-processor computer?

Do you think that in MW, STOPME is an essential command and normally one
can't do without it?

Thank you in advance,

[[Yehuda]]
