Print "whatever goes in here"
wait key
cls

Well you can use the wait with a value instead of key. There is also the command sleep. If you use a number for the wait command the number is the amount of milliseconds to wait for. 1000 milliseconds is 1 second.

When life hands you lemons go buy some oranges to make orange juice, and stop expecting everything to be given to you.
