[erlang-questions] Global names initialisation

[Kirill Zaborski]

Thanks!
It looks like documentation isn't correct in
http://www.erlang.org/documentation/doc-5.5.4/lib/kernel-2.11.4/doc/html/init.html#flags
I thought I should use single quotes and that was clearly wrong.
Now everything works OK.

Regards,
Kirill.
