i assume that you mean the blocking reads that 
the example does. yes.... that is a pain in the A**

i tryed to find away around the blocking read but never could.
i have a "main_loop" i want it to just return if nothing
has been done but i cant get it to do that.

any info would be appreciated

metoo
