You can't write coroutines in the way you would with Modula-2. You can use Services instead - have a look at the documentation for the Services module. This is essentially the same as being called by the event loop when the system would otherwise be idle.

The question is: Who is calling? "Don't call us, we'll call you!" Who is the boss? The analyser or the reader? Why should we have a boss (main program)? Why isn't it possible that both procedures are calling each other? What about both procedure having equal rights. Calling is equal to Return (symmetry).

This sounds like coroutines. But, is it possible to write coroutines with Component Pascal?

Why should I have a long running command with my own windows process message loop? Why can't I call the BlackBox message loop? I mean: One call runs ones thru the BlackBox message loop and then it returns to the caller. Nothing will be frozen.

I am afraid I don´t know the BlackBox message loop.

But this is very interesting. Thanks.
