[Gambas-user] SUB in background

[Lee McPherson]

The trick is to use the command WAIT.  From what I understand, this is 
somewhat equivalent to the Visual Basic "DoEvents".  Actually, somehow 
I'm not using it correctly in my own code, but I'm working on it :)

Do a search on both WAIT and DoEvents to learn more.
