heh very true.
Any non trivial OS/2 GUI app required threads. We had a template at our
shop that we gave to noobs for copy-n-tweak. It had not only the basics
for getting the canvas on the screen with a tool bar and a button, but
also the minimal code required to setup the thread to handle the button
event (it was a database lookup in our case).
