I suppose that would work, since the "wait" would block the main OS thread. It does cause unnecessary context switches, though. What happens in this case if the parrot eventloop is stopped? Does the GUI thread block indefinitely in the "wait" op? That would keep the program open even though parrot seemingly wanted to shut down. Just decoupling the event queue and dispatch mechanisms seems cleaner to my eye. -- Gordon Henriksen IT Manager ICLUBcentral Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
