I did post this in the b.p.c.vcl.components.using.  It was posted yesturday 
with the same subject heading.

Also, I suppose that means that I can't have multiple instances of the 
thread class.  I.E.  I can't create several at once and have multiple 
threads with their own Message handlers.  Is this correct?

Thanks.
