[CM] Sprouting processes from sequences?

Thanks, that's exactly the help I was looking for - I wasn't sure what
methods I needed to define. (and it's the weekend - why are you
answering email?)

Not that I'm complaining of course, I'll try this tonight.

I'm guessing that your proposal isn't equivalent to sprouting a process,
because if I understand correctly, this code will enqueue all the events
at once. So with this method there is no possibility of sprouting a
process from a sequence and having it then interact with other ongoing
processes. Correct? If so, it's not a problem for me right now - I just
mention this to make sure I understand what this code does.

Thanks again!
