Sleep command in iterators (silly n00b toy question)

ruby-talk
1

25.times { print “.”; sleep 1 }
print “\n”

But instead of printing a dot, waiting a second, and then printing
another dot, &c. Ruby waits 25 seconds and then prints 25
dots all at
once.

fwiw, it works on winxp running ruby 1.8.

Thanks
Thomas
