Yes, that's the goal of the sleep: to leave some time for the user to interrupt the command. In the reality for me, the sleep is actually some command that does some output (often not immediately) and the function is a wrapper to less. -- Vincent Lefèvre - Web: 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
