SEND TO PRX:ESSOR allows external processor software to send an interprocessor message to one specific processor, including the processor it is executing on, via the interprocessor communication mechanism. The first operand, contains the interprocessor message. The second operand is a word ( here shown as t\\O consecutive double bytes) containing the right-justified, 24-bit, physical base address of the 432 memory segment which contains the image of the IP' s processor object. The I:xx::>lean result, which is set to true if the control flags are deposited, is stored in the function result area. This P'lysical rrode operator is the equivalent of the logical node operator SEND TO PROCESSOR.
