-An actor is an object with its own thread (in our case, its own coroutine) which it uses to process its queue of asynchronous messages. Any object in Io can be sent an asynchronous message by placing a @ or @@ before the message name. (think of the "a" in @ as standing for "asynchronous") 
+An actor is an object with its own thread (in our case, its own coroutine) which it uses to process its queue of asynchronous messages. Any object in Io can be sent an asynchronous message by placing using the asyncSend() or futureSend() messages.

 When an object receives an asynchronous message it puts the message in its queue and, if it doesn't already have one, starts a coroutine to process the messages in its queue. Queued messages are processed sequentially in a first-in-first-out order. Control can be yielded to other coroutines by calling "yield". Example:

 An advantage of using futures is that when a future requires a wait, it will check to see if pausing to wait for the result would cause a deadlock and if so, avoid the deadlock and raise an exception. It performs this check by traversing the list of connected futures.
 
-<h4>The @ and @@ Operators</h4>
-
-The @ or @@ before an asynchronous message is just a normal operator message. So: 
-
-<pre>
-self @test
-</pre>
-
-Gets parsed as(and can be written as): 
-
-<pre>
-self @(test)

 <h4>Futures and the Command Line Interface</h4>
 
 The command line will attempt to print the result of expressions evaluated in it, so if the result is a Future, it will attempt to print it and this will wait on the result of Future. Example:
 
 <pre>
 Io> q := method(wait(1))
-Io> @q
+Io> futureSend(q)
 [1-second delay]
 ==> nil
 </pre>
 
 To avoid this, just make sure the Future isn't the result. Example:
 
 <pre>
-Io> @q; nil
+Io> futureSend(q); nil
 [no delay]
 ==> nil
 </pre>
