I am hearing that _endthread is the way to go.  I am very new to C++
programming so I haven't used it yet.

There is a problem with DosKillThread() that it can't be used to end a
suspended thread.  It is also possible to for the thread to be killed before
deallocating reasources that it might need to.  The CSet docs are saying that
even a thread started with DosStartThread should be ended with an _endthread.

I'm told the correct way to end a thread is to let the thread clean up and end
itself.

As an alternative to _endthread, the return from the routine called with
_beginthread does an implied endthread.

I've been trying to reply to your posts but haven't had much luck getting out
with this offline reader.  Good Luck.

John
