// This example produces output similar to the following:

// Start 3 named threads that block on a ManualresetEvent:

// Thread_0 starts and calls mre.WaitOne()
// Thread_2 starts and calls mre.WaitOne()
// Thread_1 starts and calls mre.WaitOne()
//
// When all three threads have started, press Enter to call set()
// to release all the threads.
//
//
// Thread_2 ends.
// Thread_0 ends.
// Thread_1 ends.
//
// When a ManualresetEvent is signaled, threads that call WaitOne()
// do not block. Press Enter to show this.
//
//
// Thread_3 starts and calls mre.WaitOne()
// Thread_4 starts and calls mre.WaitOne()
// Thread_3 ends.
// Thread_4 ends.
//
// Press Enter to call reset(), so that threads once again block
// when they call WaitOne().
//
//
// Thread_5 starts and calls mre.WaitOne()
//
// Press Enter to call set() and conclude the demo.
//
// Thread_5 ends.
