Maybe look into NSThread and see if it meets your needs. You'd run
your loop in the thread and keep processing events like normal in the
main thread.
(I'm still rather new to Cocoa myself, so I hope I'm not misleading
you. The other list readers will correct me if I'm wrong.)

Hey all...
This is my first time posting to this list. I've been a Windows
developer for many many years and have just recently started to play
around with Macs. I feel like a beginner all over again! Anyway....
I've got a Cocoa application which runs a simulation loop 1000s of
times. Of course, this prevents any user interaction with the rest
of the program while the simulation is running. When I was
programming for Windows there was a call in Visual Basic
(app.DoEvents()) which would process any pending events. You could
put DoEvents() inside long loops to prevent blocking user input. Is
there a similar way to handle this in Cocoa?
Thanks for any help!
