Is there an 'approved' or 'recommended' way for a DOS program to say
something along the lines of "Oy, Windows (if you're there).... I won't
be needing any processor time for X milliseconds/seconds" ?

I can't go away and wait for a key for a specified period because the
program in question looks for various events happening and isn't really
interested in key-presses most of the time.

Any hints, or pointers towards a more suitable area to ask, are welcome.

	Regards,
		Mark.
