Nice simple command to pause program execution for a set length of time.

While I have already written a function to do this:

Code (glbasic) Select

FUNCTION Pause: ms

	LOCAL time1,time2
	time1=GETTIMERALL()

	WHILE TRUE
		time2=GETTIMERALL()
		IF time2>time1+ms THEN BREAK
	WEND

ENDFUNCTION

it would be nice to have it as part of the language.

What do you think, is this the same than a delay command? Will it save CPU power?

....SOME CODE.....
timer = GETTIMERALL()+delay
ENDIF
