The original question was about how to wait for sime time
and being able to do other things. The biggest limitation of
Delay() or shell command wait x is that they don't permit
you to do other things while waiting (even a break_c
sent to the macro is ignored till time expired). So the
only solution is to use rmh.library/timers to wait for time
but do also other usefull things in the meantime.
