hi again, seems im requesting a reasonable amount of help already. Anyways here goes.

My script needs to both send and receive data from sockets, however. It is not a case of it is know when data is going to be received. So how would i go about receiving data from sockets and printing to the screen without interupting the input system. Currently i have set up a threading system to deal with all income data from the connected socket. However attempts to print this information to the screen are with little success, as the main section of the program is constantly running input commands apart from milliseconds taken to process the information inputted.

The only other way around this would be to create another script and begin streaming data between the two. For instance

main script -- all input occurs here and is sent via sockets
PC A sends data to main script
main script -- relays information to new script titled A, which then proccess all data sent from PC A
PC B sends data to main script
main script -- relays information to new script titled B, which then proccess all data sent from PC B
...

but that would mean that all input would have to be specifing which PC to send the data to for instance to send 'hi' to PC B i would have to use something like
/send PCB hi
as the input string, and all of these would occer from the main script no matter what PC it is to be sent to. so for sending large numbers of data it becomes very tedious and time consuming. As well as messy and confusing.

the latter half is not much the problem with having to send all strings via the mainscript window. However i would very much like input on methods of taking I/O at the same time.

Thanks
