Thanks for the link. After reading about Greenlets, it seems my Baton
is a Greenlet. It is not passed in to the new greenlet as I wrote
above, but both sides use it to pass execution to the other, and to
send a value on switching.

I'm glad my thinking is matching other people's thinking. Now I have
to search for a greenlet written for Jython.

And thanks to others for their thoughts on this subject.
