Scripting: sendkeys and delay?

How about add sendkeys and delay to scripting? sendkeys (just likes the SendKeys in VB) simulates the keyboard typing, and delay(milliseconds) will pause a while and give control back to XYplorer.
With these two commands, users can do lots of automation, just like they are operating XYplorer via keyboard.

try the (undocumented) "
wait msec" command and see if that's what you want.

Would be easy to add it, but the documentation... horror! I could add it as
undocumented command only...
