I think it's in the Turbo+ extension:
Vbl Wait Y
where Y is the position of the raster beam (I think that's what you
call it - the beam that zips around the screen updating it) so by
waiting until that is at a certain pos you can wait between 0-Vbl. Of
course I'm probably wrong on this or confusing it with something else
but it's early in the morning - you understand!
