I don't completely understand your words but it's like that: Sleep puts the program to sleep - literally. It just waits for a given time to elapse and then resumes execution. Wait, OTOH, keeps the interpreter active by recursively calling the event loop. This way, events can fire, the GUI can be updated, etc.. So yes, if you use Sleep, the program will "freeze" for the given time while with Wait you can still have your forms redraw themselves and stuff. The thing with the console you mentioned maybe happens as follows (you didn't really provide details): you call an external program through Shell which is not affected by your program being asleep. If you don't catch the output from the Shell instruction (or redirect it), it will be shown in the IDE console, no matter if your program is Sleeping or whatever.
