Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to set the current state of a state machine 
manually from outside the machine. 

My rationale for wanting to do this is I need to recover the state of an 
FSM that has been shutdown/terminated part way through it's sequence. When 
restarting I want to build up the current state based on a log of its 
actions. I'm unable to serialise out the state prior to termination as it 
may be from a crash and it's vital that it can continue after recovery in 
the exact state it left off.

Thanks,

Mark
