.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This procedure delays the calling process by the number of
|
|
milliseconds given by the \fIms\fR 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 needn't do anything while it waits. For longer
|
|
delays where the application needs to respond to other events
|
|
during the delay, the procedure \fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR
|
|
should be used instead of \fBTcl_Sleep\fR.

.SH KEYWORDS
