That sort of works, but the main application now reports errors - what I am
doing is retreiving a load of records from a database, and if I interrupt
this with Application->ProcessMessages(), the database reports that it has
lost it's cursor.

Application->ProcessMessages() is the kind of call that I was looking for
though, so thanks for that.

I suppose that I could do with a call that only processes messages specific
to the Comms thread.
