.... any other ideas?.... yes..... a thread needs to return or go to end of it's code block before it can finish..... so i have retreated into the brute force habit of using a GOTO as a way of terminating a thread, where the GOTO label sends execution to a few lines preceeding the threads actual return...... you can do your thread specific cleanup there....but as always....i may be missing the secret design you have :-)

...see Reusable threads demo and look at the end of the thread code block..... and it would be good to follow TGI's advice to use cleanly labeled nested loops instead of GOTO's ;-)

....i'm an old dog and reserve the right to use a goto every now and then
