For public again: Actually, it does not depend on the *delay*. If you use the WAIT instruction, the interpreter re-enters its event loop. Only in this loop, changes to the GUI are made effective. So just call Wait without any parameter so that the interpreter spends only as long there as it needs to process all the pending events and refresh the GUI.
