Thanks, but what I meant by "built-in" was the libries in ROM that don't
have modules in the root of EMODULES: (eg. intuition, exec, etc).

Oh. That's a real shame. I don't suppose anyone knows how to do this?
I really like the idea of multithreading.

I keep meaning to ftp a grep-like utility :-). I'm forever using it
on the Unix machines.

Yeah, I know, I'll get it one day ;-) Thanks for your help (and sorry
for sending this to you twice - how do I make the reply come directly
to the list and not have to cc it like I did for this one?),
Jason.
