So, anyone have idea about delay 0.001, is it really delay for 1
millisecond?
Well, it won't return for at least one millisecond. :-) Seriously,
"delay"'s accuracy is not guaranteed, and at best has a resolution of
1/60th of a second. If you need guaranteed millisecond timing, you
shouldn't be using AppleScript. Heck, you probably shouldn't be using
a normal consumer OS.
