Assuming you want to do this in the WELCOME message on HP
(compatible) terminals (or emulators)...
After the ASCII Turkey type esc - @ (escape @) for a one second
pause. Keep in mind that as you enter them, they will cause your
screen to pause too.
The other alternative, which offers much more flexibility would be to
echo the turkey to the screen in the system-wide logon UDC and add
the pause there. This method is a little more complex, but it would
work on non-HP terminals.
