Hi, Daniel,

I told you rubbish about the WATCH hook. Actually, the event loop IS 
implemented, the WAIT instruction excepted.

So, the following code don't work without the QT component:

  Socket.ConnectSocket("localhost",7)
  While Socket.Status <> 7  ' while connection is not completed
    Wait (0.1)
    Print "Connecting..."
  Loop

I just have to let the default WAIT hook calls the event loop, like QT does.

Second point, I think I will integrate your network component not in the next 
version (0.71), but after, in the 0.72, because I want to talk you about the 
component interface. I will send you another mail with some proposals about 
class, method, constant and event names, and you will tell me if you are 
agree :-)

Best regards,
