Threads?

[Frank Fock]

Hi James,

Are you using _THREADS? If so, why do you "go back to the main
loop2 instead of waiting for your data? If you "go back to the main
loop" it implies that the request is answered. That's why you get
the described error. So, do not return until you got the data.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Frank
