+NAME
+    sleep - suspend operation for a specified time
+
+SYNOPSIS
+    sleep([n])
+
+TYPES
+    n		non-negative real, defaults to 1
+
+    return	integer or null value
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    This uses the C-library sleep (if n is integral) or usleep (for
+    non-integral n) to suspend operation for n seconds.  If n is an
+    integer and the sleep is stopped by an interruption, the number
+    of seconds remaining is returned.
+
+    One kind of use is to slow down output to permit easier reading of
+    results, as in:
+
+	> for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+		print sqrt(i);
+		sleep(1/2);
+	}
+
+    The following illustrates what happens if ctrl-C is hit 5 seconds
+    after the first command:
+	
+	> print sleep(20)
+
+	[Abort level 1]
+	15
+	>
+
+EXAMPLE
+    > sleep(1/3);
+    > sleep(20);
