Thanks. I rarely take anything literally. ;^) In general I try (try being the operative word) to explain things as simply as possible without bringing up the details... but you're right, perhaps "threads" was the wrong to use.
Although I always (obviously incorrectly) considered processes to be "thread containers"... an application could create multiple processes (sorta, kinda, virtual "machines" with their own address space in which to run code) that would/could then spawn multiple threads. This is all from the (VERY LITTLE!) I know about COM/C++ development so perhaps the terminology changes with different environments.... Am I at all near the truth here?
