[Lexi-developer] Why do lexi editors read/write files asynchronously?

[Stephen C. <cr...@ds...>]

Hi Yann-Ga=EBl,

Perhaps you could explain something about the Lexi editor classes for me?

The insert, append, read and write methods of the RFTEditor class all use
a separate thread to read from or write to a file.  The same code appears
in the other Editor subclasses.

Why do they do this rather than reading / writing files synchronously? =20
Would
it break anything if I removed this complexity?
