sleep or something like it?
 
Is there anything like sleep that can make a script wait a little before it executes the next line?

There is the #wait command, e.g.,
#SAY First line
#WAIT 5000
#SAY Second line
will pause five seconds between those two commands.

However, #WAIT has its own set of problems, and is generally not recommended. A better way is to use #ALARMs, e.g.,
#SAY First line.
#ALARM +5 {#SAY Second line.}

of course always good to give your alarms name so as not to have a million of them at one time

#ALARM "name" {+5} {#Say Second Line}
