Laura,

    In out continuing discussion of Kepler actor icons, take a look at 
the workflow below (from an example from Edward Lee about how to handle 
nested loops). This is an example of some more interesing icons that are 
already in PTII and Keper (rather than the default blue triangle). In 
particular, the SequenceToArray actually shows the process of putting 
tokens into an array and the ArrayToSequence the inverse. More 
interestingly, the number '5' on the icons is a parameter of the actor 
and it is 'dynamic', i.e. it changes as the parameter is changed, 
avoiding the need to open the actor! (This also occurs for the Repeat 
actor, which has an icon that depicts its function and shows a dynamic 
parameter.)
