Here it is...
: wait 15 0 timer_SET BEGIN 0 timer_GET 0= UNTIL ;

So now, the first example becomes:
: TEST 100 0 DO I CR . wait 7 1 0 MOTOR_SET LOOP 7 4 0 MOTOR_SET ;

| Thanks a lot Ralph, And I'm sure you're right. I tried this: 10000 VALUE CTR : test 100 0 DO I CR . CTR 0 DO LOOP LOOP ; For CTR > 11000, the numbers are displayed one at a time.
