  Syntax:   WAIT                                              -none-
 
  See also: FWAIT
 
  Description:
 
     Suspends processor execution until the preprocessor receives a
     signal that a coprocessor has finished a simultaneous operation.
 
     Use WAIT to prevent a coprocessor instruction from modifying a
     memory location that is being modified simultaneously by a
     processor instruction.
 
     WAIT is the same as the coprocessor FWAIT instruction.
