How to start a form on a new thread?

I'm having trouble instantiating and SHOWing a form on a new thread. The
form appears briefly then disappears from the screen and the taskbar. Is
there a sample somewhere how to do this? Preferrably C#?

Show(), for its part, as I understand it, despite its modelessness, does not
start a new thread, and therefore if the form runs a process that takes
time, the rest of the app would freeze, or so it would seem. Hence, the need
for a form on a new thread.

Thanks,
