Hi Hans,

I am curious to know what limitations RPG has with respect to threading.  I
know very little re: threading on the iSeries.

Its interesting how the iSeries community accepts the lack of threading and
event support in the core OS and rpg apps. Esp since with them nuisances
like locked display sessions can be prevented.  or, while the long running
display function is running, press a command key to show how much is
remaining to do.
