     Sure, if you like, but it won't change any of the behaviour you're 
seeing.  You'll spawn a process to run the function, the function will 
run, the function will finsih and so the process will exit and you'll be 
exactly where you are now.
     In your first posts, you were comparing the behaviour of your 
single function with the /applications/ yaws and mnesia.  A single 
function does not an application make.  Perhaps if you explained what 
exactly you're trying to achieve it would be easier to provide specific 
guidance.
