Subject: sleep-for does not work as expected - or perhaps my expection is incorrect
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:12:55 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGdT1gqU58Ta=OXbdbp8P0UOVd_wbu2bP8CgdpWqh0=wJOFepQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
(defun somefun ()
  (insert "Hello ")
  (sleep-for 1)
(insert "world\n"))

When I invoke "somefun" by doign -  M-: (somefun) <return>

I see that "Hello world" gets printed after 1 second instead of printing
Hello and then printing world after one second.

What can I do to get the script to write out "hello" first and then wait for
a second and then write out world?

Regards,
Kashyap
