As Charles pointed out, we have control(2) for that where we are working
for our application.   According to my understanding, we need some more
exercise how we can implement GUI programs for Plan 9.   Plan 9 has different
strategy from those of X applications.  Plan 9 uses concurrent programming
and threads(coroutines) for it.   We are now just trying to use its single threaded 
application, which means we have only four processes for an application, and 
one of which consists of many kinds of threads (= coroutines).   So far as our 
program, we have no problem in this strategy.   However, some much larger 
program may require multi-threaded strategy, which is the point I described 
above.
(for out program, I believe we can make it public in March, we need some
more debugging now, and Yoshitatsu has to write thesis. ^_^)
