[Newbies] Block other processes?

I guess another way to ask this question is: is it possible for
Squeak to steal cycles from an Object's 'step' process, while the
step is running, or does the Object have control until the step
completes?
I suspect the later, since during long-executing steps, the rest of
Squeak seems frozen.
Note that I'm not really trying to use Squeak for real-time
processing. I'm just building a prototype in Squeak, since it has all
the networking stuff I need, plus a way to create a quick and dirty
user interface.
Plus I'm having fun learning Squeak :-)
