I have different opinion. In the future we will have support for more then one console windows in some GTs (GTWVT, GTXWC, it's also possible for GTTRM, GTCRS and GTSLN if they are executed in xWindow) and each can has its own console window with separate keyboard events. In such case it will be interesting functionality to kill only one thread bound with given console not whole application. Now we should define the access to one console by many threads and synchronization methods. When we will make it then we can also add support for sending cancel request to all threads bound with given console Best regards Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
