   HOLDZ  is  a timer routine which delays the amount of time  entered  before 
returning to ZCPR3.   It is most useful when used in a command script  (ALIAS, 
ARUNZ,  ZEX,  or  SUB file) to simply schedule the execution of programs at  a 
later time.

   Usage:  A0:SYSTEM>HOLDZ hh:mm:ss[;FURTHER;COMMANDS]

        or A0:SYSTEM>HOLDZ mm:ss[;FURTHER;COMMANDS]

        or A0:SYSTEM>HOLDZ ss[;FURTHER;COMMANDS]

where 'hh' indicates hours; 'mm' indicates minutes; 'ss' indicates seconds

HOLDZ Notes:

   a. Alternatively, 2 digits need not be entered if only 1 digit is 
      necessary, e.g., 'HOLDZ 1:2:3' is the same as 'HOLDZ 01:02:03'.

   b. If any key is pressed during the delay, HOLDZ execution will be 
      terminated and execution of pending command(s) proceeds.
 
   c. Ctrl-C will erase $$$.SUB from A0: and "A$:" and lower flow control
      level to 'No Pending IF State'.  Non Ctrl-C abort sets the Program
      error flag to 255 (0FFh), otherwise command line proceeds unimpeded.

   d. HOLDZ gets the processor speed from Z3ENV+2Bh and assigns the 
      appropriate constant (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 Mhz).  Its accuracy is 
      limited by the fact that Z3 uses single-byte integers to peg CPU 
      speed.
