The default display should be simple and robust. It's our natural instinct, as programmers, to want to have as much insight as possible into the state of the things we are working on. But, when dealing with multiple threads, that's a highly volatile situation and anything we see will be a representation of the past. Anyways, ... it should be possible for you to construct the inspection mechanisms you want (with limitations imposed by the physics of time). But the robustness of the implementation should be a higher priority. (As an aside, as a programmer I have a *lot* of fondness for the concept of display being equivalent to serialization. But even that level of detail sort of falls apart for threading, because of the transitory character of thread states.) I hope this helps make sense of things... -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
