Delays a specified number of milliseconds.


Declaration
procedure  Delay(MS: Word);
Target
Real, Protected
Remarks
Ms specifies the number of milliseconds to wait. Delay is an approximation, so the delay period will not last exactly Ms milliseconds.

{Delay.PAS}
{Sample code for the Delay, NoSound, and Sound  procedures.}

uses Crt;
begin
  Sound(220);        { Beep }
  Delay(200);        { For 200 ms }
  NoSound;           { Relief! }
end.
