OK, here's a "really out there" suggestion ....
1. Run a local web server to serve files (locally only).
Can be done various ways, including (easily) via LC and the httpd
library,
(build that server as a standalone and have it running -
started from your app if need be...)
2. in your stack, just do
load url ("http://localhost:8080/myfilename";) with message "mycallback"
and handle the file once it has been read in the "mycallback" handler

Hey folks,
I'm having trouble finding a combination of settings that allows my file
loading to seem to happen in the background.
repeat while read_result is not "eof"
read from file ThisFile for (1024 * 1000) bytes
put the result into read_result
put it after IntoThisVariable
add length(it) to amount_read
TSTProgress amount_read,ExpectedSize,"%","Loading File ..."
(Progress Indicator Handler)
wait 10 milliseconds with messages
end repeat
no matter what I try, its still sluggish, and it seems like messages are
still accumilating instead of being processed by the engine.
Am I missing something? Normally waiting with messages sufficiently frees
the engine to allow the UI to remain responsive.
Thanks,
Tom
