──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
'This example uses the SLEEP statement to suspend execution for 10 seconds.
'There is no ON event statement, so the only way to interrupt the suspension
'before 10 seconds have passed is to press a key.
 
PRINT "Taking a 10 second nap..."
SLEEP 10
PRINT "Awake!"
END
