Psuedo synchronous - asnychronous lingo

Imagine having a big project based on fileio that needs to be converted to use netlingo for saving data. Hmm.. big rewrite. But maybe not.

Imagine being able to call a handler that does some netlingo stuff and returns when the operation is complete (without using repeat loops of course!).

This is technically possible using the play/play done construct.

You can find a demonstration movie that illustrates the concept, plus a mini-tutorial full of caveats at [1]
