SUMMARY
The KEYBOARD command allows the {PAUSE nSeconds} option to be placed in a keyboard buffer along with the documented key labels. This option results in a pause of nSeconds in Visual FoxPro 5.0x and 6.0x. In Visual FoxPro 3.0x, it does not result in a syntax error, but does not pause.



MORE INFORMATION
In the Command window, type:

KEYBOARD '{PAUSE 5}'

and note that the cursor disappears from the Command window for five seconds before returning when running Visual FoxPro 5.0x or 6.0x.
