Feature request

Hi,

regarding the "VDC mobile":

It is important to avoid crashes if the network connection temporalely 
fails (for example beeing in the train tunnel or like that).

For this we need to check if the A4GL server is awake. Our idea is to 
send to the server
  <MSEND>
and wait for an answer like this
  <MREC/>

If the server is busy (because of a large sql query for example) it 
should not bring an error (Internal error - expecting a 
ID_FRONTCALLRETURN) if we are sending this every second. So the idea is 
that we can send this at any time and in every context to the server and 
it is ok for us if the server answers "when it can".

For the user it would look like this:
If the VDC mobile is waiting for the server answer without getting it, 
then the user sees in the message line "Waiting for the server..." with 
a nice animated progress bar. After 1 minute of sending the server 
request  <MSEND> without receiving an answer, then the user gets a 
dialog. He can now decides if he will continue waiting or he can simply 
interrupt the running module.

Could this enhancement in the protocol be possible? Thank you in advance!

Alain
