Quick Java Question!

try{
Thread.currentThread().sleep(100);
}
catch(InterruptedException e)
{
System.exit(1);
} //HOLD ON A SEC YOUNG MAN

Basically I want to add a delay to a black jack applet I'm making, but isn't working. It's worked in a previous program so I'm somewhat confused.

Any ideas?

The problem now is that all the delays execute at the start of the program and then it paints everything at once...

public void drawCards (int[] cards, Graphics g, ImageObserver i, Image c, Player p)
{

for (int loc = 0 ; loc < cards.length ; loc += 2)
{
drawCard (p.getX() + (loc * 25), p.getY(), cards [loc], cards [loc + 1], g, i, c);
p.addCard();
}//im done here
} //drawCards

There's the drawing method that fails!
