An improved mechanism for communicating between computer programs is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a computer system has a source computer program, a destination computer program and a communication mechanism for sending a communication from the source computer program to the destination computer program. The communication mechanism contains a concurrency management mechanism for handling events when a communication is pending. The source computer program sends a communication to the destination computer program using the communication mechanism. While the remote communication is pending, the concurrency management mechanism of the preferred embodiment provides concurrency management. The source computer program then receives a reply to the communication from the destination computer program.
