+NAME           rele  --  release processor
+.sp
+.ti 0
+SYNOPSIS       sys rele  / rele = 0;  not in assembler
+.sp
+.ti 0
+DESCRIPTION    This call
+causes the process to be swapped out immediately if
+another process wants to run.
+Its main reason for being is internal
+to the system, namely to implement timer-runout swaps.
+However, it can be used beneficially by programs
+which wish to loop for some reason without
+consuming more processor time than necessary.
