Word of the Day:   Threads.  In programming, a thread is like a mini-program within a program that can execute at the same time as other threads. A program with multiple threads, then, can do multiple things at once. In Scratch, any block whose label begins with "when" essentially demarks the start of a thread; think of what Scratch calls a "script" as a thread. (Technically, scripts run in threads, but never mind that.)
One such block is:

As the above block's label suggests, this thread begins to execute when the user click's Scratch's green flag. A program with two such blocks thus has two "threads of execution," both of which start simultaneously when the user clicks Scratch's green flag.
