Can I pause between lines in VB

[Hood]

I am trying to write some macros for the lathe I am retrofitting. The gearbox utelises clutches and I dont want to change from, for example, full speed to a stop in one go. What I intend to do is write into my macro to look at the spindle speed and if it is too big a difference I will drop it down at least one  speed before I stop it. I need to be able to pause for a few seconds after I have shifted down before I then stop, is there a simple way to do this?

I found something that will work I think, it was in the post about script consuming too much resources.
