Re: What is the best way to signal the completion of a task?

[Steven Shiells]

More info about the software -- The software takes a source file, performs
some functions on the source file and in some cases highlights sections of
the source file, and others times does nothing.  The case we are worried
about is when there is no highlighting to be carried out.

Hope this helps,

Steven
