Hi Ben,
I guess I have to poll the socket and then the event queue with a similar
poll time is the only choice left;-(
any recommendation of polling time? I'm thinking 200ms should be O.K.
thanks,
Ghazi

I'll give you a middle-length answer: you can't do it.
Depending on what you're trying to do, it may be worth trapping nil events
and writing your own background threading. I've had to do this on a couple
TCP/IP programs that need to poll sockets while still accepting user data.
Not much fun, but you do what you have to do, I guess.

Ben Flaumenhaft
