#delay

##Syntax delay (duration : int)

##Description The delay statement is used to cause the program to pause for a given time. The time duration is in milliseconds.

##Example This program prints the integers 1 to 10 with a second delay between each.

    for i : 1 .. 10
        put i
        delay (1000)    % Pause for 1 second
    end for

##Details On Apple Macintoshes, the hardware resolution of duration is in units of 17 milliseconds (1/60th of a second). For example, delay(500) will delay the program by about half a second, but may be off by as much as 17 milliseconds.
