[Gambas-user] How to use MessageView when closing a form?

[Bruce Steers]

Task would also make sense if it could be used as a keyword
Process might also fit the purpose

Task SomeFunction(sWithArgs)
Process SomeFunction(sWithArgs)

RunSomeFunction(sMyArgs) With Process  ' also makes sense , as it's running
a function with it's own process
