-<span id="Channels-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">5.5.4 Channels</h4>
-
-<p>Channels are a tool for communicating amongst different scripts. One
-script can write a value to the channel and another can read from it.
-Reading or writing to a channel suspends that script until there is
-someone on the other end of the line to complete the transaction.
-</p>
-<p>Here&rsquo;s a simplistic example:
-</p>
-<div class="lisp">
-<pre class="lisp"><span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-special">define</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">c</span> <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">make-channel</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span>
-
-<span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">script</span>
- <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">forever</span>
- <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-special">let</span> <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">item</span> <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">channel-get</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">c</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span>
- <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">pk</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">'got</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">item</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span>
-
-<span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">script</span>
- <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">channel-put</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">c</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">'sword</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span>
- <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">channel-put</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">c</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">'shield</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span>
- <span class="syntax-open">(</span><span class="syntax-symbol">channel-put</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">c</span> <span class="syntax-symbol">'potion</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span><span class="syntax-close">)</span>

-<p>A low-level API also exists for using channels outside of a script via
