Waits for a specified number of milliseconds after completion of any queued Play or Record commands.

Number of milliseconds the system should wait before moving to the next executable statement.

• If Play/Speak/Record commands are executing, Wait will pause for these commands to complete before starting the countdown. In other words, wait starts its count down after the completion of play/speak/record.
• Commands such as Play, Speak, Record etc. are asynchronous, in the sense that the script will not wait for the execution of these commands to complete to move to the next executable statement. Instead, the script continues by executing the succeeding statements even if the commands like Play or Speak or Record have not yet executed completely. In order to make the execution synchronous (i.e. further statements are not executed till the completion of any pending executions) Wait command can be made use of. For example, if we put 'Wait 5' as the very next executable statement after a Play command which plays a ".wav" file with duration, say 10 seconds, then the script waits for the completion of the Play statement plus an additional 5 milliseconds before the next statement is executed. Key presses, if any, will be flushed during this session.
