225 :: How to user actor

  Hi,

  Can anyone show me an example how to use actor in Nimrod? It seems quite close to that provided in Erlang, but I find it hard to figure out how to compose "receive" part in Nimrod. More specifically:

  1. How do I define the receiver where message matching should be in place?
  2. What does recv() do? The name suggests it can be used to define the receiver by getting a task from inbox, but clueless as to how to hook it up right.

  The example in the doc shows rather a simple usage for multithreading, not the usage I have in mind.

  Thanks in advance,
