Program execution will not be effected as a result of setTimeout() unless:

1. The timeout time has elapsed, at which point the program will take the
path determined by the contents of the setTimeout(), or

2. A function with the setTimeout() in it is called by that same
setTimeout()

It dosn't pause in loops. (I tried while loop), and it dosn't stop at the
end of blocks (I tried a few examples of code inside and outside of {  } ).

Is this the way you folks see it. Or does anyone have a nicel clean rule
about setTiemout() around when the porgram will pause rather than settup
interupts at whatever the program location is at that time.
