Re: Threads

Thanks Greg,

I took a look at the code and now I think I managed to create my own thread
to perform some operations in the background. Just a small question on the
subject: Suppose I want to know if a specific event has occured in that
thread (e.g. a condition is now satisfied, or a specific message has been
received...), is there a straightforward way to do that?

Thanks again,

Mahmoud
