Thank you, I found now that I have to add a '::method leaving' and 
there I may bring down all possible TCPIP sockets congruently 
waiting in blocking mode.

Alas I have not found yet a way to 'force' the other thread. This 
must be possible from within the program because I may use Ctrl+C 
on the control window (with a socket command hanging in blocking 
mode I have to press it twice) and the program _is_ stopped.

Well, when I press OK or Cancle I do not want to wait for the 
second thread to quit, I want to force it as I don't mind what it 
does when me, myself and I hit QUIT! How may I rise a 'halt 
execution' or break or you-name-it to end at once?

Best,
