- .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 \fBTk_CreateTimerHandler\fR
- should be used instead of \fBTk_Sleep\fR.
