So now I want to know a way to make a delay for EXACTLY one millisecond.

I used to see lots of requests for people who wanted millisecond
resolution for psychology experiments on PC's.  What they failed
to realize that the display was only refreshed once every 60th
of a second (about 16.7 mS); and that any drawing done would not
show up until that display row was redrawn by the CRT at a time
fixed by the vertical scan rate.  Also hidden in most PC keyboard
controllers is a key matrix scanner that does its thing on some
periodic basis rather than instantaneously on every key press.

The Palm also has a raster scan (lcd) display controller.  So are
you sure you have *any* input or output that happens with a
resolution finer than the 10mS event loop?  The only ones I can
think of are hardware level control of the audio PWM or serial
output port (which both just happen to be fine resolution timers
themselves incidentally...)
