Hi again Rob,


Ok great, i'll give it a shot tomorrow some time.  I'll try to create
a demo similar to the "Virtual Thread Manager 02" demo using Windows.
All it has to do is save (or read) a very large file while still allowing
the user to keep control over gui stuff like the mouse, menu items, etc.
I want to become familiar with the function calls anyway so i can 
understand when they will be beneficial to my programs.

If it works similar it will be very nice, with tasking built in now :)


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
