About Yield():

"This function halts the current task and starts any waiting task...

Applications that contain windows should use a DispatchMessage, PeekMessage,
or TranslateMessage loop rather than calling the Yield function directly.  The
PeekMessage loop handles message synchronization properly and yeilds at the
appropraite times".

Prog. Ref., 4-469

BTW consider getting the Prog. Ref. at a bookstore.  IMHO it's worth the 
money.
