It basically employs its own threading model to do just this. SecondLife does much the same: any system that allows for the apparent parallel running of code will. LambdaMOO still exists, incidentally! You might also be interested in a python-implemented version of the main MOO core, the unfortunately named POO: http://www.strout.net/python/poo/ -alex23 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
