Robert> Is there a way to stop 'job wait' from blocking indefinitely.

The 'job wait' command does not block indefinitely. It blocks until
all the existing jobs have been deleted.

Robert> If not, does anyone know how to block for a finite amount of
Robert> time and still process events ?

See the documentation for Tcl's 'after' command.
