This procedure is similar to the delay function in pascal...it continues with the rest of the application processes while it waits too..

procedure Delay(ms : longint);
begin
while GetTickCount < (GetTickCount + ms) do
Application.ProcessMessages;
end;

Well, IMHO, no. Not at all. :) Infinite loop. GetTickCount will -ALWAYS- be less than GetTickCount+ms. Not only that, but if it would work like that, it's better to store the value in a variable rather than calling GetTickCount each iteration, which there could be thousands upon thousands.
