Here's a suggestion, but I haven't tried it:

Play around with a For Loop or just a regular Loop until you get it to
pause a reasonable length of time--say, 1/10th of a second.

Then, make a function called paws() (or whatever you want) that takes in
a number and consists solely of the previous Loop, like so:

paws(n)   ;where n is the number of 1/10ths of a second you want
For(x,1,y*n,1)   ;y is the number you found earlier that works well
EndFor

This way, you in your main program, you can just call paws() and get a
desired pause, like:
Disp "Here is text for 3.5 seconds"
paws(35)

Hope this helps,
Noah Deneau
