Well, that last part of the last sentence is a bit of a tautology, so its
tough to disagree. The part I was having trouble with was thinking of a
situation where it would make sense. I can even perhaps see making the main
procedure recursive as you suggest. But having a task started up by the main
procedure call the main procedure itself?? %-(
Hmmm. Thinking about it, that would be sort of a poor-man's "fork()"...perhaps
I'm getting sick too. :-)
T.E.D.
