    --------------------------------------
    PLRM 2nd Edition
    January 26, 1994
    Operators
    8.2 Operator Details



    yield
    rCo
    suspends the current execution context until all other contexts
    have had a chance to execute; see section 7.1, rCLMultiple Execution Contexts.rCY This should not be used as a synchronization primitive,
    because there is no way to predict
    how much execution the other contexts will be able to accomplish. The
    purpose of yield is to break up long-running computations that
    might lock out other contexts.

    Errors: (none)
    -------------------------------------


    I can find no other mention of yields except the one you found in the
    third edition.
