    If you are referring to VBS, it would be

    Wscript.Sleep 500 'time is in milliseconds

    For JS it would be

    Wscript.Sleep(500); 'time is in milliseconds

    Here's a DOS command that will pause for 10 seconds:
    • choice/c:./t:.,10/n "Pausing for 10 seconds ..."
    Note: You can change both those "10"'s to anything from "0" to "99".
