Terry,
 
I don't think (after consulting Bruce Robinson) this is going to be possible using the wscript.sleep thingy.   It seems that wscript is not available outside the WSH.
 
 
 
Reference:
 
 
 
Better think of another way - or consult TJ for best solution.

Fred,

Can you please give me newbie instructions on how to use WScript/
I checked the docs and tried EnableScript("vbscript"); and a few other
variations and get the error "Com object not initialized..."

I'm pretty sure I have windows scripting installed.

Thanks.

|
| The .vbs command would be
|
| WScript.Sleep(1000)
|
| Where 1000 is in milliseconds or in this case 1 second.
