I dont mind arguing the topic of how best to do event driven
programming, it's a pretty interesting subject. but it is just an
example.

threads are one of the fundamental building blocks of software
applications.  as I understand it, the reason interactive jobs dont
allow threads is because the underlying OS400 code is too buggy to be
made threadsafe.   IBM has to fix that.
