You want the WAIT keyword.  It's equivalent to the C sleep() 
function in stdlib, though sleep() takes a required integer 
parameter and with WAIT it's a float so you can "WAIT 0.5" to 
sleep half a second.  (or just "WAIT" to wait only as long as 
the system needs to do the event loop....)

I think I'll add some notes to the WAIT page in the wiki so 
people can more easily find it.
