thanks, David Black, for your support.
The problem is, I'm one of those non-professional users who can, with 
their limited knowledge, do a lot with Ruby without understanding all 
it's ins and outs. For instance, I have no experience with threads at 
all, so when I am suggested a solution using those, I just try, and if 
it works I have another reason to study threads in detail. Before that 
I'm stupid enough to think that Thread.new{...}, which did nothing, may 
have been a typo...
