+@defun sleep-for seconds
This function simply pauses for @var{seconds} seconds without updating
the display. It pays no attention to available input. It returns
@code{nil}.
The argument @var{seconds} need not be an integer. If it is floating
point, @code{sleep-for} waits for a fractional number of seconds.
-Some systems support only a whole number of seconds; on these systems,
-@var{seconds} is rounded down.
-The optional argument @var{millisec} specifies an additional waiting
-period measured in milliseconds. This adds to the period specified by
-@var{seconds}. If the system doesn't support waiting fractions of a
-second, you get an error if you specify nonzero @var{millisec}.
+It is also possible to call @code{sleep-for} with two arguments,
+as @code{(sleep-for @var{seconds} @var{millisec})},
+but that is considered obsolete and will be removed in the future.
Use @code{sleep-for} when you wish to guarantee a delay.
