Hi,

I try to get multiple messages displayed in the echo-area, with a small
delay between each message. The messages should be displayed each after
another when Emacs is idle (and not idle, if possible...)

How can I do this with GNU Emacs 21.2 ?

I've searched around the `timer' (run-with-idle-timer?) functions and 
`sit-for' functions, but I can't get what I exactly want.

Any idea?

Thanks for the help,

--Bastien
