Even discounting games, I'd love to be able to designate a substack to being "threaded", disabling its access to objects in other stacks, and limiting communication to event/message passing.
It would be very much like using the open process command with a Windows command line program. (WHY doesn't it work with Mac command line programs?!?!) I use open process is a stack to start a makefile and monitor its output while keeping the interface perfectly responsive. I do the same on a mac using a shell command outputting to a text file that I sample the tail from in another shell command. Hackier, but it gets the basic job done. But if I have LiveCode that I want to start and monitor, I'm out of luck.
