Chad,
Aborting the thread does not change the code and throwing an exception in the thread does not change the code.

>Both signatures are valid. As far as threads go, I think the only way they return a code other than zero is by throwing exceptions. If you Abort a thread, an exception is thrown and a non-zero exit code is generated. I would guess that you can throw any exception within the thread to have it exit with a non-zero code, also.
