I don't know what the original WebDNA you showed wasmeant to do, but I agree that the idea in general is to do long,time-consuming processes (like big searches with lots of activity insidethem) entirely inside a Spawn.In general there are *very* few cases where you would ever need to useSpawn. We created it primarily to help us with some time-consumingWebMerchant code that would wait 15-30 seconds for a credit card to process.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ====Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant,11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster,San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
