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_Create
TimerHandler should be used instead of Tcl_Sleep.
KEYWORDS
