for a Sleep function that accepts partial seconds, try this:

constant KERNEL32 = open_dll("kernel32")
if KERNEL32 = 0 then
    puts(1,"Couldn't open kernel32.dll.\n") abort(1)
end if

constant pSleep = define_c_func(KERNEL32,"Sleep",{C_LONG},C_LONG)

-- REMEMBER Sleep time is in micro-seconds
global function Sleep(integer sleeptime)
    return c_func(pSleep,{sleeptime})
end function

-- pause 2 and a half seconds
junk = Sleep(2.5 * 1000)
