A promise is not procedural.  It is a general statement that Cfengine will try 
to keep.  For instance 'promise that file /etc/ssh/sshd_config has mode 644'.  
You don't say 'chmod 644 /etc/sshd/sshd_config' instead you describe the end 
state and let Cfengine keep that promise in its own way.

'rvalue' I believe refers to the right hand side of a statement.  For example, 
in
"x" string => "Hello World"
The rvalue is "Hello World".

A host that the agent runs on is either a member of a class or it is not.  Thus 
this is a boolean.  You might try looking at the tutorial's both the official 
and mine before you tackle the reference manual.
