When I start up my Erlang emulator, there the first bit has a bunch of informational things. (Slightly reformatted for effect.)
manoa:~ stu$ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5
[source] [smp:2] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.6.5 (abort with ^G)

Some of it I can guess at, probably accurate, but some...
Is there a way to use records directly in erl? No matter what I try, it always says it canno find the record. I am trying to do mnesia transactions and I cannot go too far without my records. Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you!

When I start up a function within the erl shell, it works fine. When I try to invoke the same function with erl ... -s module function, it fails.
The line of code that eventually fails is:
start(Port) ->
mochiweb_http:start([{port, Port}, {loop, fun dispatch_requests/1}]).
I'm positive that Port is set correctly. My error message...
I want to be able to have two Erlang shells to talk. I'm running on OS X.
I tried the tut17 example here: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/erlang/doc/getting_started/conc_prog.html
I've also tried:
$ erl -sname foo
and then in a new Terminal:
$ erl -sname bar
(bar@elife)1> net_adm:ping(foo@elife).
pang
Any ideas?
