Method Thread():atStart() Foundation

Reserved method for use by subclasses of the Thread class.

Syntax
:atStart( [<xParamList,...>] ) --> NIL
Parameters
<xParamList>
<xParamList> is a comma-separated list of any expressions which are passed to the method :atStart(). They are identical with the parameters passed to :execute().
Return

The return value of :atStart() is ignored.

Description

The :atStart() method is PROTECTED and can only be invoked from subclasses of the Thread class. Its purpose is to implement program code in a user-defined method which is executed once at the beginning of a thread, rather than using the :atStartinstance variable. The method is called at the beginning of a thread. Note that if both instance variable and method specify code to execute when a thread starts, the :atStart() method is executed first.
