I am creating a small multitasking system, I am clearly creating the process with the new() function, however when I use the run() function it claims that the process doesn't exist. My code is as follows:

local tArgs = {...}
local process = { }
local proc = { }
local er = function(text)
  error(shell.getRunningProgram()..": "..text, 0)
end
local new = function(name, func, dVa)
  if type(name) == "string" then
    if type(func) == "function" then
	  if type(dVa) == "table" then
	    process[name] = { }
	    process[name]["Pr"] = coroutine.create(func)
	    process[name]["Di"] = window.create(term.native(), dVa[1], dVa[2], dVa[3], dVa[4], dVa[5])
	    table.insert(proc, name)
	  end
    else
	  er("Function expected")
    end
  else
    er("String expected")
  end
end
local run = function(name)
  if type(name) == "string" then
    if process[name] then
	  if coroutine.status(process[name]["Pr"]) == "suspended" then
	    coroutine.resume(process[name]["Pr"])
	    term = process[name]["Di"]
	  else
	    er("Process is "..coroutine.status(process[name]["Pr"])) 
	  end
    else
	  er("Process doesn't exist")
    end
  else
    er("String expected")
  end
end
local hello = function()
  shell.run("hello")
end
new("hi", hello)
run("hi")

you forgot to pass new a dVa argument, and new doesn't display an error when that inner-most "if type(dVa)=="table" conditional fails.

You're not passing a third argument to new.

oh right, I forgot to add data for a new feature... *facepalm*. Thanks
