Hi Stefano,

Are you trying to put a thread to sleep and continue it?

If so, try the commands
sleep(time) it will put the thread to sleep for the time you specified

pause() I'm not sure about it but look for it in any Java book

I'm not familiar with the commands you used (yield(), etc..)

Anyways try the Java Official page at:

www.java.sun.com
