Is this what you want? - client send a request to the server port and ask for an anwer on a given port - client go to wait on his port - server awakes for the client request and makes what the request asked - server send an answer to the client port - server wait - client awakes because receveis the answer So the "ticket" should be only a client port to wait for. This is the mode in which async code was executed by ARexx on old Amiga. --- Ciao Romano
