Right, so not appropriate for a basic dialect language. Thanks!
I will have to admit though that I did switch to using a thread for the app I mentioned earlier. The background processing didn't pack enough punch to make it happen. The app was jerky and while it did respond while the background stuff was running, it had constant hiccups and stumbles. *sigh*
The processing going on in the thread is perfectly self contained, however, so it's not all that scary. That, and I'm using MFC so Microsoft's code is taking care of most of the scary details like preserving process states and such.
