Depends how often you want the secondary thread to service.

If the servicing is less frequent than (say) a few seconds you can 
write a seperate PRC and use the Alarm mechanism to trigger
the PRC so it can do its stuff.  A significant proportion of 
multi-threaded situations (such as say checking for new e-mail) can
be handled very successfully by this mechanism.

Otherwise you have to build it into the event loop of your program
or have a hack that does that.
