>--> Any idea to have such a SLEEP command?

Actually, it is done rather easily. (the key is returned, if required, with
the help of a global variable or you could just push it back to the
keyboard queue.)

include get.e

global object key_pressed

global procedure sleep( object tm)
object k
object tk
tk=time()
k=-1
while (k = -1 ) and ((  time()-tk ) < tm ) do
  k=get_key()
end while
key_pressed = k
end procedure
