**CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 2 (Commands): WAIT**
===== WAIT -- Wait for a specified amount of time or until user input =====
** usage: wait [ DELAY Millisecondflag ]**

WAIT with no arguments pauses the program until a keyboard key or mouse-button
is pressed.  The keyboard or mouse [[jvs:cigal:manual:chapter1:ascii_codes|button code]] is stored in the R0 register variable.

WAIT with a DELAY argument causes the program to pause for a set
amount of time and then continue.  By default, the delay is interpreted in seconds but 
if the MILLISECONDFLAG argument is non-zero, the delay is interpreted as milliseconds.

Note: DELAY is read as a floating-point number so that you can specify fractions
of a second.  Thus, "wait 0.5" is the same as "wait 500 1".  The MILLISECONDFLAG
is retained for compatibility with older versions.
