How to Delay, Wait, Pause...

Hello,

This is hard to google for because they are such common words:

how do I delay, wait, pause for a tenth of a second?

I don't want to use NSTimer because I just want to resume where I left off. I don't want to be in a tight loop because I need the system to finish something. I just want to pause execution for a short time. I think there was a wait() in OS9. I found a wait() in wait.h but it wants an int * and made me nervous.

Specifically, when I send a fetch message to an NSArrayController, it sometimes takes a fraction of a second for its selection to become valid. Currently I fire an NSTimer to call a 'part 2' method to finish what I am doing (scrolling the selection into view), but it lacks niceness.

Thanks,

Steve
