I guess that sleep-for was intended. Tramp also had sit-for for some years, before I discovered the problem and changed it to use sleep-for, instead. Of course, the sleep-for can also probably be dispended with. However, the fact that there is a blue moon comment there leads me to thinking that before trusting any changes we need to wait for the next blue moon. Does anyone know when is the next blue moon? :-) -- ~/.signature
