Subject: Re: Does Threading work properly?

Hiya 

Thanks - I just about worked that out - lol sorry - I now have another
threading problem though:

require \'net/telnet\'
require \'thread\'

require \'net/telnet\'
tn = Net::Telnet.new(\'Host\'       => \'ancient.anguish.org\',
                     \'Port\'       => \'2222\',
                     \'Telnetmode\' => true) { |str| print str }


tn.cmd(\"String\" => \"guest\") { |str| print str }


thr4 = Thread.new() do
loop do
tn.cmd(gets.chomp) { |str| print str }
end
end

thr3 = Thread.new() do
loop do
tn.waitfor(\"Match\" => /.+/) { |str| print str }
end
end


thr4.join

I have one thread to enter commands into the server and one thread to
listen to all the server repsonses that are going on all the time.

But this code here - it lets me enter 1 command - then it just listens
and I cant enter anymore commands

Any clue?

Thanks
Kingsley
