  these hooks, it terminates execution of the hook, and clears the hook

+   A request coming into the Emacs server (@pxref{Emacs Server,,,

  Some systems support only a whole number of seconds; on these systems,
  @var{seconds} is rounded down.
  
- The optional argument @var{millisec} specifies an additional waiting
- period measured in milliseconds.  This adds to the period specified by
- @var{seconds}.  If the system doesn't support waiting fractions of a
- second, you get an error if you specify nonzero @var{millisec}.
- 
  The expression @code{(sit-for 0)} is a convenient way to request a
  redisplay, without any delay.  @xref{Forcing Redisplay}.

  The usual purpose of @code{sit-for} is to give the user time to read
  text that you display.
+ 
+ It is also possible to call @code{sit-for} with three arguments,
+ as @code{(sit-for @var{seconds} @var{millisec} @var{nodisp})},
+ but that is considered obsolete.
