Porting to VM [message #37308]

I've been trying to get a large application working in the new IDLVM, and
have run into trouble: apparently, in all calls like:

XManager, /NO_BLOCK

the NO_BLOCK is ignored, and the call blocks anyway. I suppose this makes
sense, since IDL's non-blocking functionality is provided by the
command-line, which isn't there in the VM. Why would you care about
blocking if there's no command line to interact with? For my purposes,
the distinction between blocking and non-blocking is whether calls which
invoke XManager return immediately, or wait until the managed widget
dies. This isn't mentioned in the "Restrictions" on the VM FAQ page.
Anyone managed to deal with this issue?

Thanks,

JD
