====== ugBASIC User Manual ======
===== FLOW CONTROL WITH UNCONDITIONAL WAIT =====
==== PURPOSE ====
This example will show the use of ''WAIT...MS'' keyword. The main code will print an blinking asterisk. Each symbol will last 1000 milliseconds on the screen.
==== SOURCE CODE ====
CLS
label:
HOME: PRINT "*"
WAIT 1000 MS
HOME: PRINT " "
WAIT 1000 MS
GOTO label
==== SOURCE FILE ====
* ''[[https://github.com/spotlessmind1975/ugbasic/tree/main/examples/control_wait_ms.bas|control_wait_ms.bas]]''
