    I'm assuming that they are referring to the difference between handling
    events vs. threads. In a event system, pressing a button on the screen
    invokes an event handler. The event is run and then finishes. It is
    sequential..?? For threads, you can start a thread and then do other
    processing and then the thread can return at any time. This requires that
    you syncronize your global variables with all sorts of semaphores and
    things that I never really got in OS class :p

    That's the best I can explain it.
