Who can write me a wee bit of software?

Could you not use TIMEOUT or SLEEP DOS methods for the delay?

I am sure that's what we used to do in the dim dark past, when I used to use more scripts than programs...

Hello Colin, there is no SLEEP tool native to any modern Windows install, it is a utility that must be installed, hence why I avoid referring to it.  Yes there are other ways to do it, including timeout, I just find PING is handy and is universal across most Operating systems, which streamlines my scripting efforts.
