I'm having some trouble using the #wait command. Rather, it doesn't seem to be working.
I tried:
#wait {5};#showme 5 seconds elapsed.
and (had to try)
#wait {5000};#showme 5000 miliseconds elapsed.

But neither worked- the messages showed up immediately.
What is wrong?

; is a seperator, so u're infact inputting 2 commands

it should be #wait {5} {#showme 5 seconds has lapsed}

my fault....what i typed was wrong

anyways why yours doesn't work is prob because all # commands are executed immediately.
u could try this, might work

#alias xxx {#showme 5 seconds has lapsed}
#wait {5};xxx
