There are two reasons that these APIs are not documented: 1) The original 68K version of Palm OS used a kernel where the licensing forbid Palm from exposing those APIs to users -- they could use the main UI thread, but running in other threads required a Kadak license for the app program.
2) The number of threads, timers, semaphors, etc. in the system is determined at system build time. Using one or more of these for your program could prevent a system service from using the resource when it needs it to perform a task.
