The REALbasic thread scheduler is cooperative based, even in Mac OS X Mach-O
builds. Good to know. Would not hurt to mentioned this in the documentation.
For example I call an external function with takes several seconds (up to
minutes depending how bad I am) to return and never calls YieldToAnyThread
because it is function build for Mac OS X. No chance with a REALbasic
Thread.

Is there an easy way to build a preemptive thread for such a function
calling YieldToXXXThread never ever?
