asynchronous timers [message #89286]

Has anyone put to use the new "asynchronous timer" that was introduced in version 8.3?

I was just reading the help section for it and noticed that this timer can "interrupt pro code" when it fires. hmmm. Does this offer some possibilities for pseudo-"multithreaded" operation? For example, one process could be off doing a heavy calculation, and a separate gui process could periodically fire a timer and update it's display?

thoughts?

thanks
Mark
