     NAME
          Wait - Delay a specified amount of time.

     SYNOPSIS
          WAIT n [SEC=SECS] [MIN=MINS] [UNTIL time]

     DESCRIPTION
            Wait will delay a specified number of seconds or 
        minutes, or until the specified time is reached.  This is 
        most often used in EXECUTE batch files for a delay. By 
        default, all units are in seconds. If no delay is 
        specified, the default delay is 1 second. Sending a break 
        to the WAIT command will cause WAIT to conclude.

     OPTIONS
          n
               The amount of time, in minutes or seconds that the
               system will wait. If a time isn't specified then
               it defaults to 1 second.

          SEC=SECS
               The number entered is the number of seconds (this is
               the default) to wait.

          MIN=MINS
               The number entered is the number of minutes to wait.

          UNTIL
               The string entered is a valid time.  Wait will delay
               until this time is reached.

          You may only specify one of UNTIL, MINS, or SECS for WAIT.

     EXAMPLE
       1. To WAIT one second:

          WAIT

       2. To wait ten seconds:

          WAIT 10 secs

       3. To wait until 3:00:

          WAIT UNTIL 3:00

       4. To wait for three minutes:

          WAIT 3 min

       or

          WAIT 180

       5. To set up a background process that waits until 3:00 and then
          delete all the files in a directory named 'Garbage':

          RUN WAIT UNTIL 3:00
          DELETE Garbage/#?
