" PNAME$ 20 CLS 20 SLEEP=10 <----PAUSE FOR 10 SECONDS 30 PRINT "HELLO" PNAME$ "yOUR STARTING A ADVENTURE THAT WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE" 40 PRINT "MISTY MOUNTAINS " ============================================================= How would the sleep function work in basic I have tryed 10 sleeo=10, 10 "sleep=5" its not working...
