	Does anyone have any ideas on making XLISP handle asynchronous
events, i.e. how can one have a signal routine execute an xlisp form
and then return control to a previously executing one?  I'm interested
in something like having a timer set a signal few seconds, and
executing code to handle this situation.

p.s. by signal I mean the ANSI-C type of signal
