non-blocking sockets and generators

[Gary Stephenson]

Alan and Alex,

Many .thanks.  Hopefully sometime soon I'll graduate from newbie status and
be able to stop asking really stoopid questions and maybe even ask some
intelligent ones!  <g>    The module / import mechanism seems to be the
aspect I'm having the most trouble with - prolly 'coz my current language
lacks any such mechanism at all.

gary
