Walk-Through

Start the REPL:

$ DB=./Company.DB make mnesia-shell

> (mnesia:create_schema (list (node)))
ok
> (mnesia:start)
ok
> (slurp '"src/structure.lfe")
#(ok structure)
> (init)
(#(create-set-tables (#(atomic ok) #(atomic ok) #(atomic ok) #(atomic ok)))
 #(create-bag-tables (#(atomic ok) #(atomic ok))))
>

Actually, I take it back -- no walk-through.
