____________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This procedure delays the calling process by the number of
milliseconds given by the
ms parameter and returns after that time
has elapsed. It is typically used for things like flashing a button,
where the delay is short and the application need not do anything
while it waits. For longer delays where the application needs to
respond to other events during the delay, the procedure
Tcl_CreateTimerHandler should be used instead of
Tcl_Sleep.
KEYWORDS
sleep, time, wait
