It's not clear what you mean by "pause". If you want the program to
stop everything for a certain amount of time, look at the UNIX sleep()
function.
If you want something to happen after a given amount of time, you can
send any object a -performSelector:afterDelay:cancelPrevious: message.
NSTimer is a little more general-purpose than that, providing periodic
events for things like animation, as well as one-shot events.
