Try "call delay(500)" to wait ten seconds. The function is in
rexxsupport.library, so make sure that's loaded first.

There are quite a few useful functions in rexxsupport.library but they
don't appear in the manual. They're detailed in a text file on the
distribution disk, but that wasn't supplied with the AmigaOS version :(

I would upload a copy to this list's files area, but I'm unsure about
the copyright status.
