  This is currently impossible. Euphoria does not have concurrency, threads, 
or even thread-safety. The fact that threads aren't built-in is no big deal, 
because there are external libraries to implement it. However, the fact that 
Euphoria is not thread-safe, means we can't even use those libraries. The 
only thing you can do is merge the two loops so that they do both things in 
one loop.
