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
