So would using sleep be preferable to using delay? Delay would be
compatible in both 9 and X, but if sleep uses less CPU, it would give better
performance to other apps (which is most likely why you need a pause in the
first script--to wait for an app). Or is there really no clear advantage of
using sleep over delay.
