Why not use the .sleep directive that's already in todo.pl?

The .sleep directive
If you ever have to use this directive, then you are doing something
wrong, because there is no such thing as a guaranteed time bound for any
Windows operation.
Unfortunately, some installers make it impossible to do things right.
For example, they might fork a subprocess and exit. In this case, the
most convenient thing might be to delay a while.
This directive simply takes an integer number of seconds as argument.
For example, to sleep 37 seconds, you would do:
todo.pl ".sleep 37"
