This is a common question from my students. Each agent needs to have
either a list of other agents or a world in which to look for agents.
You might look at this exercise:

http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps909/Exercise6.1.txt

That directory has some other exercises too.  There is also a directory
ExterminatorModels which has a few programs by my students who mastered
the topic you are asking about.


They represent "conceptual roadblocks" that I had difficulty overcoming,
and I expect most people who are not programmers by career/training have
the same  problems.
