---++ Description:

This subroutine pauses for the specified number of seconds. The number of seconds must be PASSed or the subroutine will CANCEL.

&lt;seconds&gt; is the number of seconds to 'sleep' (Required). This must be an integer greater than zero. Passing zero or a negative number will immediately exit.

Control will not return to the calling program until the specified number of seconds has elapsed. This subroutine can be interrupted via Control-C in character mode.

No information is displayed to the user during this time. If you want a 'countdown timer' to inform the user how much longer they have to wait, use [[0LASubrUtilSleepWithTimer][.UTIL SLEEP WITH TIMER]].
