Hi pedro,
Thanks for you reply!

Actually, I want to keep running some process in the back goround and allow
user to interact with Forms (User Interface) at the same time.

I wonder if any of the solutions that you have suggested is suitable for
this approach!

Thanks,
Keyur

Palm OS 5 is multithread in a very loww OS level but it is MONOTHREAD for a
user application:
However you can simulate a relative multithread:
* by using alarms, the problem is that the finest alarm granularity is 1
second. I don't know if that suits you
* by enabling socket notifications if your application uses sockets. This
way, your thread does not care about reading socket. It is an OS internal
thread who does it.
