It may be "elegant" but it doesn't actually work within the scope of what
I described ("solution native to XP and TI103" ;-)

To create a sleep command 'natvely' in XP (default delay =  16), I suppose
one _could_  go :

debug

N SLEEP.COM
A 100
MOV SI,0082
MOV AX,[SI]
XCHG AH,AL
XOR AX,3030
MOV BL,AL
MOV AL,0A
MUL AH
ADD AX,BX
MOV SI,AX
MOV AH,2C
INT 21
MOV BL,DH
MOV AX,SI

OR AX,3030
XCHG AH,AL
MOV [0160],AX
MOV AH,09
MOV DX,0160

But maybe not so 'elegant' as the one liner suggested ... ;-)
