Bill,

What does the Windows version of the plugin do about the 
double prompt?
(Keeping in mind that OpenAxiom has fixed this issue.)

Can you say something more about the advantages of the 
threaded vs. the synchronous interface?

I don't know enough to actually port the code, but I would 
be happy to act as a tester for it on OpenSolaris.
