OL_Yield()
Return a time slice back to the operating system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
OL_Yield()
Arguments
None.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
OL_Yield() can be used to return time slices back to operating
systems such as OS/2 and operating environments such as Windows.
By doing this your application will generate less CPU load and
make your whole machine run just a little smoother.
This function is best used in a wait state in your application
and should be called as many times as possible while it is waiting
for input.
It is safe to call this function even if you are not running your
application under OS/2 or Windows.
Examples
// When you may have done this:
nKey := InKey( 0 )
// It is now better to do this:
While nextkey() == 0
OL_Yield()
End
nKey := InKey()
