It makes sense - in 'doze your're always processing in some sort of
message loop. Stop that, and windows stops. 

The mechanism TS uses for process control does not work quite right under
Windows either.

Note that because OS/2
has a single message queue as well, the function called should do the
same thing if your program is in a PM message loop. The only thing is that
OS/2 figures this out pretty quickly and blows you program away.

With dos95, you do not get pre-emptive multi-tasking with 16 bit apps.
Heck, you don't even get it with 32 bit apps a lot of the time.
