You could use a flag for this, something like:
  if zone1 is not ready then delayflag on for 2 minutes
  when delayflag not ready then thermostat1 off

I don't have access to my docs right now so the syntax is probably wrong
on the above, but you get the idea.  It's been a while since I looked, but
HAI used to have a document called Programming 101 on their web site.  It's
a good introduction to programming if you can track it down.
