Unless you are programming a Cobalt native application, there is no multithreading available to application developers on the PalmOS. You can simulate what you are talking about by using the NetLib calls with a timeout of 0 and polling their state, however. This has been covered here a number of times, just do a search on the archives: <http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/archive.html>

You don't need multiple threads for this, but if you still want that technique then implement it yourself within your program. Its a common technique used by gaming programmers.
