I understand that English isn't your first language, and I don't blame you for that, but you can find the documentation for these APIs here:

and I think the descriptions are easy enough to understand.
Actually, English is my first language, and I'm confused every time I see those functions. It's probably too late to change the name, but might I suggest changing the first sentence of callFromThread's docstring from: Call a function from within another (i.e. non-reactor) thread. to: Cause a function to be executed asynchronously on the reactor thread. This is the language used by SwingUtilities.invokeLater(), which I've always found comparatively clear. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/ SwingUtilities.html#invokeLater(java.lang.Runnable) Regards, Scott -- Scott Lamb http://www.slamb.org/
