subject: DosSleep in an OS/2 VDM?

Hello All!

Does anybody have any experience in using the DosSleep function in a DOS
VDM under OS/2? I found some info (from INTER47*.*) about using OS/2
functions from a DOS program running in a VDM, but the DosSleep function is
missing from the list. If somebody has more specific information than the
following, please drop a message.

Interrupt 21h, register values:
AX = 6400h  ; OS/2 function interface
BX = 0032h  ; DosSleep API ordinal
CX = 636Ch  ; Magic number?

The other register values are missing. Using just these values with zeros
in all other registers results in error code 1. If somebody knows what that
is, please enlighten me.

PS. Moderator: this is not exactly OS/2 programming, but it's extremely
closely related to it (after all, it's all about using OS/2 functions).
