I was pondering this method and that may be what I go with but it seems like I ought to be able to trigger a new event based on the completion of a thread, along the lines of a callback function in JS. The sleep, wake, check, sleep paradigm is functional but it seems a bit inelegant. The child function ought to be able to say to the parent "Hey, I'm done now!" and have the parent launch another thread. But I can't quite wrap my head around how to make that happen. Thanks for the response though, its an excellent suggestion.
