Subject:Timer device

Hello;

Could anybody recommend a library or anything else that operates a
timer.device that runs as a task without chewing up processor cycles
just checking and waiting for an event. The time functions in Arexx
have pretty limited use. What I am trying to do is set some times and
have a flag or other signal sent when that event comes up. I can do
this now but constantly looping and checking the time against a
varible really bogs down other things that are running. I don't know
for sure about Arexx but doing this in other interpreters usually
results in the garbage building up and crashing the computer. Surely
there is a more elegant way to do something this simple.
