DESCRIPTION

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