- WAIT is only useful in batch files. It takes about three
- seconds to count down from three before continuing. Thus, it allows
- a user to interrupt a batch file (if, perhaps, an error occured at
- one stage in the batch processing), but will not require attention
- during unattended operation (unlike the standard DOS command PAUSE,
- which will wait forever for a keypress).

- Usage: WAIT nn
-
- Where nn is the number of seconds to wait.
