Don't understand delay action

Randy,

The script, below, seems weird to me.

1. How come the delay command uses the handler?

2, How come the handler works without the normal parentheses?

3. Could I add the handler to all scripts that use the delay command?

4. Would the command “Delay” also call the handler?

# script
on delay delayTime
	set theRepeat to delayTime * 10 div 1
	repeat theRepeat times
		do shell script "sleep 0.1"
	end repeat
end delay

beep
delay 2
beep
#/script

Tia,
