Alright, thanks everyone - I think I understand.

By default there is only one main thread. If I want to create a thread I can use the Thread class and can pass it a class inherited from "Runnable." Then no pauses in the run function will distract the main code.

To pause the thread I can either use the Timer class or the wait function, but the wait function requires a try...catch function.

Thanks for the quick responses.
