   Syntax:  SAK o...

  Options:  A     <-- do not allow user to abort the command line

            B     <-- ring the bell at the user's terminal occasionaly

            Pn    <-- pause n seconds and continue if no response by that time

SAK Notes:

   a. If no options are given, SAK waits for user input, and if the user
      strikes a ^C, then the multiple command line is aborted and control is
      returned to the user.

   b. SAK is particularly useful if the user wishes to interject a delay in a
      multiple command line generated by a Menu.  One such application is to
      display the time to the user, call his attention to it (via ECHO), give
      him a delay (via SAK), and then invoke dBASE II with an initializing
      command file.

Examples of Use:

   a. SAK BP10    <-- ring the bell occasionally and pause for 10 seconds;
                      if the user does not strike a command by that time
                      (^C to abort), then resume command line execution
                      with the next command.
