A native Java program is a good choice. Since the garbage collector and the Swing display manager have separate threads you'll see at least three. - While that's running, execute the command "ps -eLf" and you'll see all the threads that are running in the system. - the ones with the same pid and executable name all belong to the same process. If threads were merely a figment of some library's imagination you couldn't see them this way. Martin
