[Fwd: Q: Threads ???]

[Gala'Vi and Liss @ Mainframe Country]

I don't think that you need threads to do what you want to do.
Please run this TCL script maybe this would help.
This will draw two cones in the same rendering window and you will be able
to manipulate them independently of each other. If you want you can even
have two different rendering windows. Nobody says that you can't bring up
more than 1 rendering window at a time also. Try this script, if you like
it there is more from there this came from. :)
