PF> I have not tried this yet,  but I was recently told this:

 PF>          while (__WD_Present) {
 PF>             DosSleep (10000);
 PF>          }

I don't understand what this code is supposed to do, or if it's related to
disabling a breakpoint. Currently, I have defined a breakpoint as:

#if defined(__WATCOMC__) && defined(DBUG)
extern void BREAKPOINT(void);

#pragma aux BREAKPOINT = \
    "int 03h"
#else
#define BREAKPOINT()
#endif

If the __WD_Present is just a defined int, then I don't see that I need a
DosSleep for anything; I just need to do a compare in the inline and branch
around the interrupt call. What was the DosSleep supposed to do?
