As your question isn't really clear, I would give this a look.

You can also check out the Coroutines chapter of Programming in Lua: http://www.lua.org/pil/9.1.html It explains coroutines pretty well. There's also an explanation section in the Lua Reference Manual: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.11
EDIT: You might also want to check out the Coroutines Tutorial: http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial
The Computercraft Wiki link Bomb Bloke gave is equivalent to this section in the Reference Manual: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.2
Note that the ComputerCraft function os.pullEventRaw is actually coroutine.yield. The ComputerCraft function os.pullEvent is a wrapper function for coroutine.yield that checks for terminate events, instead of letting you handle them yourself.
EDIT: If you're willing to read an academic paper on the subject, you can read the Coroutines in Lua paper here: http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/docs/corosblp.pdf
