[comp.sys.mac.programmer] TCL Dawdle

fri0@quads.uchicago.edu (Christian E. Fritze) (02/21/91)

I have a Dawdle() method in a document which checks for certain conditions
when it is first called. Only if the conditions are TRUE are the guts of
the procedure entered, else the Dawdle() method returns immediately. If
the conditions are FALSE (and we bounce back out) I want the time until
this particular Dawdle() method is re-entered to be as short as possible.

The question is, how do I do this while giving enough time for other back-
ground tasks to perform necessary functions? Should I alter the maxSleep
parameter that is passed in? Change gSleepTime? Thanks for any help.
