SLEEP

    Causes VAXTPU to pause for the amount of time specified.  SLEEP is
    useful for suspending screen action while a message is displayed.

 Syntax

    SLEEP ({integer | string})
 Parameters

    integer              The number of seconds for which VAXTPU is to
                         pause.

    string               A delta time indicating how long VAXTPU is to
                         pause.  The string must be in the format
                         dd hh:mm:ss.cc.

 Comments

    User input overrides the SLEEP built-in.  If typed-ahead user input is
    pending when VAXTPU encounters SLEEP, VAXTPU does not pause.  If the
    user types in input during a pause, VAXTPU stops the SLEEP.

 Examples

    1.  The following statement causes VAXTPU to pause for two seconds.

        SLEEP (2);

    2.  The following statement causes VAXTPU to pause for one and one half
        seconds:


    3.  SLEEP ("0 0:0:1.50");
