I have a little trouble with this answer. I have a main- program and
some threads which are invoked by the main- program. Now something
happens in a thread, e.g. it has done it's first job.

What I want to do is to say 'Hello, main! here I am! Please wake up!'. I
thought this to be a classical example for an event- handler. But the
doc's which I have don't tell me how to create an event, to send it to
the main program, and to 'activate' it. The only Events I find in the
doc's (jdk, javasoft tutorials) are the internal java- events.

Not that I don't want to have Button- events in my programs, but this
whole 20-line-web-stuff doesn't match the aim of a 'real programming
language'.

I hope someone can help me - Marco Gergele.
