READ EVENTS is the command that tells VFP to go into a wait state ready for USER input. It relays processing control to the UI. VFP COM dll cannot have a UI. The Vfp6r.dll (the VFP runtime for single threaded COM servers) probably responds to a READ EVENTS by jumping out of the method, because a REASD EVENTS doesn't belong in a COM dll.

If you want your COM server to wait and poll Winsock, just put in in a loop that checks the ready status of the WinSock control.
