Hi Mike,
yes, you're right, I don't expect the VM to execute commands. I would simply like to run code in parallel. This is not my field, so I don't know if there is an *alternative* at all to using an execute command (therefor compiling) to run parallel processes. If an alternative is existing, I don't know about it and I'm digging for this sort of info. For the moment, I'm quite convinced that it is not possible with the current status.
Then the next question would be if something like this is implementable without the execute command. A sort of feature request...
Cheers,
Helder
