What does the command do and why is it undocumented.

It's probably not documented because no-one really understands what it does! ;-)

I believe it's intended to 'kind of' revert to a more Blitz2d like operation. It automatically handles the app suspend / app resume events for you, which typically occur when you're in full screen mode and you alt-tab. Not entirely sure *how* it handles those events, but I'm guessing timers stop firing, to be resumed when the app resumes, and flips no longer *actually* occur - or at least they don't VWait (which I *think* is what Blitz2d used to do). But a lot of that's guesswork.

Always check the online docs for the latest documentation - AutoSuspend has actually been documented for some time:
