Hi, try
(defun wait (secs / target)
(setq target (+ (/ secs 24.0 60.0 60.0) (getvar "date")))
(while (< (getvar "date") target))
T
)
e.g.
(wait 10) pauses for 10 secs

As devitg said, they are ordinary AutoLISP. For an example of how they might be used, paste this into your Command: line:
(command "_.line" (getvar 'viewctr) (polar (getvar 'viewctr) 0 (getvar 'viewsize)) "" "_.delay" 5000 "_.rotate" "_last" "" (getvar 'viewctr) "90")
and hit Enter. No matter what your drawing units or zoom level, it should draw a Line from mid-screen off to the right, and 5 seconds later, rotate it so it goes upward.
