Default Pause the execution of a program?

Hi,

I need to postpone the further execution of an Basic4PPC program until another program has reached a certain stage.

One way to communicate between these programs is via the registry: the other programs writes a certain value to the registry and the first programs checks for it

I do not want to check this in a loop, as it would fully load the processor.

Is there a possibility to pause the execution of a program for some time, say 1second or to prevent the processor load in another way?

Or does another possibility exist for this inter program communication?

Harry
