NEWBIE Question: LUA wait() function?

Sorry for a newbie question. I am not a programmer, but I have just started to use LUA in an application that supports LUA scripts.

I need a pause or wait command inside my script;

For example:

For i=1,10 do

Print(i)

Wait(7)

End

In this script I would print “i” every 7 sec. Is there such a simple wait command included in LUA?

Surprised if there is not…?

I searched the LUA archive, but only found discussions about coroutine.yield(). However, I do not understand how to use this or if they can even be called in the application that I am using (EccoExt for Ecco Pro. See the Tutorials here http://eccowiki.com/)

TIA!!
