| Just a quick update, in response to my earlier post, I received an email from Dr. Vesselin Bontchev who pointed me to another method that I wasn't aware of.  It is detailed here: http://flippinbits.com/twiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoICreateAThread.
 For those of you following along at home, this method would require quite a bit of overhead to manage your state, but it definitely is a usable method and is backwards compatible to OS 3.1.  YMMV.
 As always, if you know of other ways to do this, I'd love to hear about it!
