  Function            DESQpause - give up CPU time

  Syntax              void DESQpause(void);

  Prototype in        multihk.h

  Remarks             this function will free the remaining CPU cycles
                      under DESQview, Topview and Taskview. I have tested
                      this function only under DESQview, where it frees
                      the program's time slice. If your program will just
                      sit idle and chew up CPU time, calling this
                      function frees whatever remains of its cpu share.

                      No error checking is performed.

  Return value        nothing.

  Example             ...  /* code fragment */
                      while (bioskey(1) == 0)  /* wait for keypress */
                           DESQpause();        /* w/o wasting cpu time */
                      ...
