Hi Avatar,
You might want to look at the source code of Portable .NET. Their
engine (the VM) is implemented as a threaded interpreter.
http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html

A few quick references, which would be of use for
understanding it are here:
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/threaded-code.html
http://wiki2.dotgnu.info/Design_20of_20the_20CVM_20interpreter
http://wiki2.dotgnu.info/Implementing_20a_20huge_20switch_2dcase_20loop

Let me know if you need further help in understanding
the source code.

Regards,
Gowri Kumar
