_________________________________________________________________
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 needn't 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
