Redisplay inside keyboard macros |

Hi list,
I am trying to write a keyboard macro that does some things, pauses
for one second, and then does more things, but I discovered that the
obvious ways to do sleep-and-redisplay don't work. Try to run the code
below with your favorite variant of C-e C-x C-e after each sexp:
(defun eek (str)
"Execute STR as a keyboard macro. See `edmacro-mode' for the exact
format.\n
An example: (eek \"C-x 4 C-h\")"
(interactive "sKeys: ")
(execute-kbd-macro (read-kbd-macro str)))
;; Choose one:
(defun s () (interactive) (sleep-for 1))
(defun s () (interactive) (redisplay) (sleep-for 1) (redisplay))
(defun s () (interactive) (redisplay 'force) (sleep-for 1) (redisplay
'force))
(eek "RET ab <<s>> cd")
I expected to see an "ab", then a pause, then the "cd", but that's not
what happens - I get a pause and then "abcd".
What am I doing wrong? I just triple-checked the docs about redisplay
and this behavior makes no sense to me...
Thanks in advance!!!
