The screen updating is not disabled during kbd-macro execution. What happens is that the screen is only updated when Emacs is "idle". Notice that `sleep-for` says: Pause, without updating display, for SECONDS seconds. But you can use `sit-for` instead, which does update the display (by default). Stefan
