[squeak-dev] continuous display of cursor position

I would like to create a small TextMorph that continuously displays the position
of the cursor. To do this I need to write something of the form:
true whileTrue: [
x := self getCursorPosition.
textMorph display: x.
self sleep: 10 "milliseconds"]
I plan to use this when investigating some morph that is not displaying the way
I expect it to.
Can someone provide me with hints as how to properly do this or point
me to a package that already does this or something similar?
I have searched the code and the Internet. I found that "getCursorPosition"
can be implemented as:
"World activeHand position"
I can also figure out how to build the Morph I need to display the
Cursor position.
I don't know how to implement "sleep:"
I am not sure if I should use an infinite loop as I have.
An alternative to the TextMorph I want is to construct a cursor that
continuously displays its
position but I prefer my original plan.
Any help much appreciated.
