I just found something at http://www.indyproject.org/indy/Teams/Core/Docs/Standards/Misc.html

ThreadClass property instead of AThread.Data

When writing server components with descendant thread classes, do not use AThread.Data. AThread.Data should ALWAYS be reserved for use by the application programmer. Instead a descendant thread class should be created and used with the ThreadClass property. 

Okay, that answers how to attach user data to a thread.  Now, I just have to figure out the syntax for assigning a descendant class of TIdPeerThread to TIdTCPServer::ThreadClass!  :-o
