Thank you Vince,

I wrote a program with Win32lib that:

Opens a window with a FIND EditText.

OnOpen loads in six lengthy data bases. (a lot of time)

SetHandle EditText to routine_id("search")

I would like the EditText to start taking entries and searching

before all the data bases are loaded. I only need the first three data basses

to start searching. To make this a little clearer the databases are movies.

OpenReg, OpenAdult, OpenDvd, SoldReg, SoldAdult, SoldDvd.

I would normally start out looking for open movies first then sold movies if 

nothing found in open.

Would this multitask make this go faster or at least appear to go faster?
