Gabor, thanks. yes, managing the two-way communication is always a bit error-prone, as it depends on the input/output characteristics of the two ends -- they either match, or deadlock. it's too bad if polling is always *required* -- i'd think sometimes a programmer would be happy blocking, though other times one wants better control over when to block. cheers, Greg
