JJ,

> I can't blame him, though.

I think I can, seeing that I just took the OPs own words, plugged them into 
a search engine and got the answer back as the very first result.  Spend 
time: a few seconds.

Even if you would argue that the OP would not yet be able to recognise the 
"sleep" command as what he needs (read: he's an absolute newbie), it 
/should/ be recognisable as something possibly in the same direction, worth 
to do a quick second search for.

:-) Guess what I got as the first result when I plugged "vbscript help" into 
DDG.  Also returned where quite a few websites related to VBScript and how 
to use it.


By the way: I once stood next to a kid who was writing some code, and he 
asked me which command he needed for something.  I asked hem why he asked me 
instead of trying to find it in the book laying right next to him.  His 
reply was an honest "its easier to ask you".  I never forgot. :-|  :-)

Rudy Wieser
