Temporarily pauses execution of the script for msec milliseconds.  Keep durations short if using this command in a gui thread where object events are handled. It is unlikely that accuracy is higher than the 'tick' rate of the system clock (system clock interrupt), so any call to wait(x) with x < 15 will likely wait at least 15ms (1/64 of a second).

wait (msec)

Temporarily pauses execution of the script for msec milliseconds. Keep durations short if using this command in a gui thread where object events are handled. It is unlikely that accuracy is higher than the 'tick' rate of the system clock (system clock interrupt), so any call to wait(x) with x < 15 will likely wait at least 15ms (1/64 of a second).
