From the Hacker's Guide: "With the NOCLEAR option, WAIT WINDOW remains until another WAIT WINDOW command or WAIT CLEAR is issued. Without this clause, the window clears when a keystroke or mouse click is received".

You can't use WAIT WINDOW for stoping the process no matter what happens. As soon as the user press a key, the process continue.

From the MSDN libray: "The Sleep function suspends the execution of the current thread for the specified interval".

Just copy & paste the lines of code I sent you and test it for yourself.

>If this is normal behavior, what is noclear used for? I do not doubt you I am just curious and eager to learn. I think the sleep() API might be over my head since I have no clue what it is.
