Synpase and select? any examples?

[snorkel]

Hi,
I have a project in python that I want to port to Synpase and FPC/Laz.
The project uses a python dictionary list to hold all the sockets along with select on the entire list, so when a socket is ready for reading the call to select returns with the handle to the socket, which you can then determine if it's a connection/disconnection or a regular read, then if the command passed is time consuming you can fire off a thread or pull one from a pool to handle it.

I am having difficulty finding any examples on how to do something similar with Synapse.
