I can't cancel my window when sleep-function is executed

Example:

(while (= 1 1) (sleep 60000) )

If I hit Ctrl-C, I must wait up to 60 sec

It is normal?

Only on UNIX it lets you break out during sleep. As a workaround try the following:

Code Select Expand

(define (mysleep ms)
        (let (start (time-of-day))
        (while (> (+ start ms) (time-of-day)) (sleep 10))))

Lutz

This code will let you break out with Ctrl-C

ps: note that 'time-of-day' wraps around at midnight

for WINDOWS it is the same as

(while (= 1 1) (sleep 10) )

It is right?
