HELP SUSPEND Steven Hardy, March 1982 Updated March 85 - A. Sloman suspend(<items on stack>, <number of items>); suspend(<items on stack>, <number of items>, <process>); This procedure, which takes an integer as argument, suspends or 'swaps out' the current process, and returns from the call of RUNPROC which ran the process. The given number of items are passed as results from the current process stack. The optional final argument is a process. This allows the suspension of ANY active process, currently in the calling chain. All processes up to and including that process are suspended in such a way that on running or resuming the specified process the whole process chain is reactivated, and control returns from the original call (SUSPEND and RESUME).
