new (thread)

Syntax

    thread().new(newThreadName {, stackSize})

Description

Multiuser Server server-side command; creates a new thread with the name `newThreadName`. To specify a stack size, include the optional `stackSize` parameter. The stack size grows dynamically while Lingo instructions execute, as needed. For simple tasks, use a small stack size. For complex tasks, do not specify a stack size.

Example

This statement creates a new thread called `thread7` with a stack size of 128 bytes:

    myThread = thread().new("thread7", 128)
