    How can I notify a program's main thread that it's okay to terminate?  I
have a program that does this:
Program starts
Starts a thread to do some background processing
Main thread continues to run, handle the user interface, etc.
Processing thread will eventually finish.
User must close the program

When the processing is finished, I want to signal the main thread which will
pop up an 'All done' message box and then terminate.  How should I
accomplish this?

Thanks,
Sean
