I provided for two choices, a global broadcast or a list of tasks to narrowcast to. What other choice could there be? This is what i wrote in early 2010:
-- fromid is always from only one source, the one doing the sending -- toid can be: -- -- atom -- one task -- -- {atom,atom,etc} -- a selection of tasks -- -- "*" -- all tasks except fromid export procedure task_send_var(object toid, atom fromid, object what)
Why not simply:
shared object o

Putting sequences in toid would cause a lan transaction, but i didn't get that far in the code i didn't delete. What code i have remaining is what wasn't deleted.
It sounds like what you have left isn't usable enough to be extended into the official Euphoria task messaging system anyways. Too bad, but life goes on. Someone will (eventually) write one.
