[CM] sequence help

[Rick Taube]

you can use the 'finally' option to chain processes together like so:

(define (doit )
   (process repeat (random 300)
            output (new ...)
            wait (whatever)
            finally (sprout (doit) (now))))

that is, the last thing the current process does is to sprout a new 
process that starts at its current time.  a more genereal solution 
would be for me to reimpleent the functionality of the old 'thread' 
container. this is actually on my 'todo' list, unfortunately that list 
is very long!
