Being silly with penguins

[J. Landman Gay]

"Without waiting" applies only to the "move" command. I don't have your 
original handler, but Colin's below doesn't use "move" so it wouldn't 
apply here. Normally during a move the handler pauses until the move 
completes. If you add "without waiting" the rest of the handler runs 
immediately while the move continues independently. If your original 
handler uses "move" then adding "without waiting" might help.

I wonder if Colin's animation would work acceptably if the "wait 1" was 
changed to "wait 1 millisecond" though.
