OK.
In fact to me it has been a completely silly concept of Borland's that
in early Delphi versions TThread.Queue was not documented (or in very
early versions maybe not even implemented) and thus the users were
forced to "by hand" use Windows messages to schedule asynchronous Main
Thread events.
By that the concepts of Thread to Mainthread signaling has been mixed
with the concept of inter-Application signaling (and even the decently
ugly windowish Application to GUI Widget signaling).
But this is not your or my fault ;-) .
Maybe when implementing PostMessage for Thread to Mainthread signaling
for windows OS we could take care of inter application messages.
