Code: /sleep { var %a = $ticks $+ .wsf write %a <job id="js"><script language="jscript">WScript.Sleep( $+ $$1 $+ );</script></job> .comopen %a WScript.Shell if !$comerr { .comclose %a $com(%a,Run,3,bstr,%a,uint,0,bool,true) } .remove %a } Usage /sleep N N is the number of milliseconds you'd like to pause mirc for.
