________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
     Tcl_Sleep - delay execution for a given number of milliseconds

SYNOPSIS

________________________________________________________________________________

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

Tcl				       7.5			    Tcl_Sleep(3)
