Hi,

Try some thing like this:

** MyWait.PRG
*  Waits for a specified number of seconds.
PARAMETERS nSeconds
declare Sleep in win32api integer

for I = 1 to 10
   =Sleep(nSeconds*1000)
endfor

You might want to add a 'set escape off' or some error capture too to prevent an error message appearing when the user presses the 'ESC' key.

HTH,
