   I have a question on the use of NXPing() in a detached thread.  The
detached thread processes some sound data while the "main" thread handles
the user interface.  NXPing() works fine inside the main thread but it
hangs my NeXT if it call it inside the method for which the thread was
launched.  ( The NXPing() inside the detached thread ( supposedly )
coordinates the highlighting of a word in a window with the pronunciation
of that word. )

   Is there some reason why NXPing() can't be called as described above.
If so, does anyone know another way of synchronizing things?

Thanks,
John
