Getpref/setpref is useful for communication between parallel shockwaves,
you could use one file for the messages to pass and, in case you need
two-way communication, another file which, if present, indicates that the
message file is currently in use by another shockwave ( you might call that
"lock".)
Each shockwave periodically polls for new messages:
if the lock file is present, try later
else getPref the message file
if the message is new then do something smart
if a shockwave wants to send a message, the steps are similar:
if the lock file is present, try later
else setPref the lock file
setPref the message
setPref the lock file with no content to erase it
