There are threaded lists and other *data structure techniques*, threaded code (a style of programming language implementation), and threads (also called lightweight processes), which represent loci of execution within an address space. You might also try other groups (e.g., comp.os.research for the lightweight process version, comp.compilers (or something like that) or comp.languages.forth for the language version, etc.). E -- J.
