Mark -

I'd say you were on target... at that point, you've become a 'kernel
extension', and aren't a typical OS9 app. Also, your tsleep() approach is clock
dependant, and may not operate the same way on another architecture (i.e. in
6809/os9, ticks/slice was altered between SS-50 and coco type systems).

I've already done a bit of dueling on the topic with Kim Kempf on USENET
sometime ago. Basically (if I recall), he said something to the effect of
"well, it all depends what you call real time...".
