I use a blocking network read with a busy wait in my eMail program,
and I want to restructure to get rid of this. One solution to this
might be to use a WinApi task for the email (instead of
Services.Action) and I am reading the MSDN web pages on tasks.

I see that there is a WinApi.Sleep(1) call in the task
Kernel.KeyboardWatcher. I just wonder what other WinApi calls there
might be to give control back to the Windows task scheduler, that I
can read upon. I want to cause something to happen not unlike
Services.DoLater (action, Services.now) I just need the extra stack
space that the windows task gives to me.
