Yep, but I've already got the view working and I'm trying to change the
Emit as follows.

fun({Doc}) ->
     Login_name  = proplists:get_value(<<"login_name">>, Doc),
     Password    = proplists:get_value(<<"password">>, Doc),
     Emit( Login_name, 
           [Password])
 end.

TO 

fun({Doc}) ->
     Login_name  = proplists:get_value(<<"login_name">>, Doc),
     Password    = proplists:get_value(<<"password">>, Doc),
     spawn(Emit( Login_name, 
           [Password]))
 end.

Thanks

 Here is an erlang view as  loaded into Futon using dropdown
 for Language: erlang, and saved into _design/erlang

 fun({Doc}) ->
     Login_name  = proplists:get_value(<<"login_name">>, Doc),
     Password    = proplists:get_value(<<"password">>, Doc),
     Emit( Login_name, 
           [Password])
 end.


 If I recall, the example in the couch_native_process.erl file
 is not quite right.

 Regarding that file, thanks for the tip o' the hat to erlview.
