Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

SLEEP Statement Programming Example
 
The following program suspends 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.
 
CLS                               'Clear the screen
PRINT "Taking a 10 second nap..."
SLEEP 10
PRINT "Awake!"
END
