Ooops.  Aparently there is a Pause Intrinsic.

According to :

http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/doc3k/B3265090821.13550/192

The format is :

NM and CM callable

Suspends the calling process for a specified number of seconds.

Syntax :

              32R
Pause (interval);

Interval        32-bit real by reference (required)
                Passes the amount of time, in seconds
                that the process pauses.  The value of
                interval must be positive.  The maximum
                time allowed is approximately
                2,147,484 seconds (almost 25 days).

  Does the phrase "To be quite honest..." mean that the person has
               been less than honest before that point ?
