[clean-list] Process starting

Let's suppose, I want to write a consumer-producer -like application.
The main thread would be the consumer, while an other process would
be the producer. So there is no way to start on separate threads?

Because my task is to write programs which sends and receives data from outside.
This is a kind of port-reading-writing problems, where on the other side a 3rd party
program processes the data elements.

The main program is a kind of:

Start w =
    #! w = sendAllData [1...10000] w
    #! (result,w) = receiveAllData w
   = result

This cannot work, because until all the elements of [1..1000] is not sended,
nothing is received. Let suppose, the 3rd party program reads one data element from the
port, and sends it back immediately on a synchronized way. So until the succesfull receiving it won't
read another data element from the port. The only idea is to solve is that:

Start w =
    #! w = sendAllData_OnSeparateThread [1...10000] w
    #! (result,w) = receiveAllData w
   = result

So it can't be solved in Clean?? I barely think that :)
