OpenEuphoria

Using the Windows threads and processes functions

All,

Back in my Borland C++/OWL days I wrote a program that started up a process
and would wait until the process completed before the "parent" program
would continue.  I know this question has come up before about using
shellExecute() to start a process and wait until it completes before 
continuing (which you can't do).

I've been looking into this again (and considering wrapping the process 
and thread APIs) and was wondering if anyone has ever used the CreateThread,
SuspendThread, ResumeThread and TerminateThread with Euphoria?  I 
was wondering if it was possible, using these routines, to simulate 
threads in Euphoria under Windows?  It seems to me that since Windows can
call a Euphoria routine it might be possible but I'm wondering that with
the non-threaded nature of Euphoria would this not work?

Any insights would be appreciated.
