Subject: Call lisp function asynchronous
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 03:47:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <95B1702E-4F05-4B1A-AE14-1029BB94F457@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

Is it possible to call lisp function asynchronous?

I would like to use it with this intention: I have defined overlay on  
a region. And after few seconds I would like to delete this overlay.

          #'(lambda (overlay)
              (sleep-for 2)
              (delete-overlay overlay))

But I do not know how to call it without waiting for response  
(funcall delete-overlay overlay).
Can you help me?  Or is there better solution for it?

Thank you in advance.
Juraj
