A FOR loop is not the best way to delay, various PC machines run faster or slower than each other (ie. new 386 machines run 22 times the speed of an XT) The best way, and most accurate, is to grab the system time and wait until x number of seconds or minutes have passed by continually polling the current time to the one stored at the beginning of the wait.
