    I see a message from Peter coming . try this

c:=readkey;

    This blocks your program in the read attempt and OS/2 will automaticaly 
take the time away from the program. By doing the above, you are
"constantly" 
doing something. To give up a timeslice "stop" doing something.

    but your "give_timeslice" would be functionally equivalent to
dossleep(1) 
which would give the minimum timeslice before returning to processing. However 
it should NOT be necessary if your code is blocked in hardware access 
(readkey).

In a quick test, the one readkey uses less resource than a loop which release 
time via dossleep.
