Larry,
Use DLCall and the Sleep() API...
Here is a little TEST rmd for you:
{begin code}
IF (ChkFunc('Sleep')) = 0 THEN
STDCALL void 'Sleep' (Integer) -- It doesn't return a value
ENDIF
SET VAR vsleep INTEGER = 250
SET VAR vi INTEGER = 10
SET VAR vcount INTEGER = 0
WHILE vi > 0 THEN
-- DLCall won't work here without a dummy placeholder return variable
SET VAR vret = (DLCall('Kernel32','Sleep', vsleep))
PROCESSMESSAGE -- if you want any visual feedback unbottled
SET VAR vi = (.vi - 1)
SET VAR vcount = (.vcount + 1)
ENDWHILE
RETURN
{end Code}

Subject: [RBASE-L] - PAUSE for less than one second.
I want to pause each time through a loop, but only for 250 milliseconds (a
quarter second).
PAUSE FOR works fine for whole numbers of seconds. Is there any way to pause
for something shorter than a second?
