In
normal execution, the
COMPUTER
halts
execution after a PRINT command
until
the
I
ENTER
I
key is pressed. The WAIT command causes the
COMPUTER
to display
for
a
specified interval and then proceed
automatically
(similar
to the PAUSE
verb).
The
expression
which follows the
WAIT
verb
determines the length of
the
interval. The
interval may be set to any value from
0
to 65535. Each increment is
about
one fifty-ninth
of
a
second.
WAIT 0 is too
fast
to be
read reasonably;
WAIT
65535 is about
19
minutes.
WAIT
with no following
expression resets
the
COMPUTER
to
the original
condition
of
waiting until the
I
ENTER
I
key is
pressed.
