multi threading actually is a single application that has different concurrent "threads" of execution.

As somebody else has pointed out, multi-threading is used by the laymen interchangeably with multitasking.

Advanced programmers and younger fellows use it to refer to programs that support threads. Notice that the posting by Phil that refered to VMS uses multitasking in the former sense.
