For a form to stop the execution of the code which called it, it needs to be modal. That'd be your wait.scx - change its .windowtype to 1 (modal).

For the 5-second wait, add the timer as Martin said.

The assumption here is that you want the processing to stop when the wait form displays, and wait until user clicks cancel or 5 seconds elapse.

You actually don't need any On Escape in such a form. Just set the cmdCancel.cancel=.t., assuming cmdCancel is the name of your cancel button.
