[plt-scheme] fluid-let and threads

Hi,

Thanks Ryan and Robby for your quick answer.

Ok indeed, that says it all. I was imagining a more 'functional'  
working of fluid-let, such as extending the dynamic environment with a  
new binding, valid only during the dynamic extent of the fluid-let  
body. So the question was whether the thread was being created with  
that environment to start with or not.
Ok, with mutation involved it's another matter.

I have found out about parameters, and actually I came across this  
when trying to understand the relation between parameters, fluids,  
fluid-let, etc.
