Re: [ns] communication between agents.

One simple way to do this is to pass pointers to each other by addind a
command the command method. Then once you have pointers to the other
object you can do wahtever you want ..... 

if you dont have experience in C++, then it may not be easy :) you must
read the manual on tcl linkage. and know how to pass pointers etc.
