time waits

Hi all,
In windoze, is it possible to do something other than this:

time1 = time()
 --wait 60 seconds
while time() < time1+60 do end while

to pause 60 seconds? That code is actually using cpu cycles, and i'd prefer 
to:

pause(60)

and to not use the cpu, and have windoze wake up the program at the 
following line in 60 seconds. I looked in the archives for "pause", "wait", and
"delay", but got no matches. Any thoughts? The only thing i can come up 
with is loop it thru mirc and use mirc's timers. Or is the answer buried 
somewhere in timer.exw? By the way, it says winmain takes two 
arguements, so i argued with it twice, but it won't stop saying that, no matter 
how much i argue at it. Must i use a winmain window if all i want is a timer?
