I wasn't looking at the docs when I typed that in.

DosWaitThread( &tid, PERIOD ) ;

Oops.  Oh well...I was close.  More or less the same meaning...just not the
same wording. :(

Ah, ok.  If I remember correctly, there's a few different predefined
periods you can choose.

1.  Until the thread is finished.
2.  Manually specified period.
3.  Immediately.

Or, something similar.  The one that you want is #1, until the thread is
finished.  If I had more time right now, I'd look it up for you, but I'm
quite tired, and I still need to get up in 5-1/2 hours for work.
