Hello Lutz,

Does newlisp have a way to background events in console mode?
(i do not meen backgrounding with "&")

I would like to have a function running in the background while
working on the same console, for global functions that
do console IO it would be nice to have a 'MAIN:event where you could but
a function in, that on itself is checked every xxxx milisecond and executes
if needed otherwise returns IO to console again...

Norman.

Not in the forseeable future. I started on a simple thread implementation some time ago but pushed it further down on the list of things to do, to get other things out of the way, there is a design for it and it will happen some day.
