SYNOPSIS        (60ths of a second in r0)

                sys sleep  / sleep = 35.; not in assembler



DESCRIPTION     The current process is suspended from execution

DIAGNOSTICS     --



BUGS            Due to the implementation, the sleep interval is

                only accurate to 256 60ths of a second (4.26

                sec).  Even then, the process is placed on a low

                priority queue and must be scheduled.
