But don't take that to mean that you can't have multithreaded programs with
Microwindows. What you need is one thread that handles all of the drawing,
and a second thread that handles all of the other operations (but absolutely
*no* FLNX or Microwindows calls). You will need to set up semaphores and
message queues, but then you will have no problems at all. For a great
example of how this works, see ViewML. It has a main thread that draws the
UI, and a secondary thread that handles the network communications.
