Delay's time can be aborted by a keystroke according to tests I ran
years ago. In particular, I seem to recall that typing a key makes
the current Delay() call return immediately and all future Delay()
calls do no delaying at all, until the keystroke itself is handled.
Pause() always seems to pause regardless of whatever else may be going
on. I have not messed much if at all with the second parameter of
Delay().

I know this has come up before, but I still don't feel I understand when
to use which of these functions, and when to use the second parameter of
Delay. I have noticed that sometimes Pause seems more effective then
Delay at suppressing undesired speech. For example, If I temporarily
disable speech with SpeechOff, type some keystrokes, Delay, then restore
speech, sometimes I still get undesired speech seemingly no matter how
long the Delay is, and even if I use True as a second parameter. In
this situation, Pause does seem to suppress the undesired speech.
Naturally, I want to minimize time delays with speech off, so I'd like
to call whichever function is optimal. Can folks share the best of
their understanding/experiences on Pause versus Delay?
