X-Treme Basic now does Sockets AND Threads

I am currently testing X-Treme basic's socket interface to make sure it all works correctly.  So far I have been able to successfully load the source code of yahoo's main page over the Internet.  This is a huge accomplishment.  It just means I am that much closer to a finished release of X-Treme Basic.  While sockets work great for client applications, to write a server, you also need to have Threads, where in, you can load and start another process.  You can think of a thread as a separate program, running at the same time, but in X-Treme Basic's case, the main program and threads all share the same window.


For example, the main program 'listens" to a port for an incoming connection.  When the connection is detected, the main program spawns a thread that handles the events for the socket connection so that the main program can go back and "listen" to the port for the next incoming connection.
