Pausing scripts literally is not usually a good idea as that will pause the client too.

If you simply want to send something to the MUD after a few seconds, use DoAfter:

If you want to do more scripting after a few seconds, use DoAfterSpecial:

If you are prepared to switch to scripting in Lua, you can use coroutines to effectively pause in the middle of a script. See this post:
