Avoid newbie record redundancy?

[Stephen Han]

Hi

I am not sure whether I understand your question or not but do you want
something like this?

match_queue(MasterQueue) ->
receive
   { msgPeerMaster, A } when is_record(A,rcdPeerMaster) ->
      match_queue(queue:in(A, MasterQueue));
   _ ->
      ?elog("HELP!~n", [])
    end.

regards,
