POE is not threaded, and therefore multiple 'event chains' won't be running simultaneously in a single process.

I think 'event chains' describes what I'm talking about pretty well. At the very least it helps me to visualize mentally what is happening inside a POE program where multiple 'event chains' all could be working simultaneously. I'll be sure to put the expression in the glossary section of my docs. -MC
