I am writing a multi-purpose file/folder browser class with local, FTP, and HTTP support. So far, everything is threaded an event driven.

With that said, I would like to add a method that downloads a file on the spot and returns it as a string, and I would like it to be completely modal:

String = DownloadCurrentFile()

Now, RB gurus please correct me if I'm wrong, but every separate stack of methods could be considered as a separate thread, right?

No.
Control returns to the current method when a called other method returns (whatever means it does that by)
Some classes, like Threads and Sockets, can do things asynchronously
