- DELAY
- text/19/46
- With the DELAY option, you can
- type a number of milliseconds
- during which the picture will
- pause before continuing. You
- can choose from 1 to 60000
- milliseconds. 1000 = 1 second.
- DELAY is the way to animate
- your pictures. You can
- alternate DELAYs with MOVEs and
- cause a portion of your picture
- to seem to move. You can also
- use DELAYs with BLOCK DELETEs
- and ADDs to animate people,
- animals, machines, anything you
- want to illustrate.

- Generally, choose a delay
- time of 20 to 50 milliseconds
- between each change. Within
- this range speeds will be about
- the same on 8088's as well as
- '486's. It will be slow enough
- to look good on LCD-equipped
- laptop computers which do not
- always show animation well, yet
- fast enough to mostly avoid
- flickering. Animate small
- areas or the flickering effect
- will be pronounced on slower
- computers.
