 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 Tk_CreateTimerHandler
      should be used instead of Tk_Sleep.


 KEYWORDS
