    ENHANCED DELAY SYSTEM -
    Version: 1.0

    This system was developed, in part, to allow
        for long delays without the lag and CPU
        usage associated with the DelayCommand
        function.  Basically, this script creates
        a timestamp of the current time of the
        delay, plus the delay itself.  Then, when
        the check delay function is called, it
        computes the current time with when the
        delay should end.  If the current time >=
        to the original timestamp, the delay has
        passed.

    Note: This is a check-based system, and is
        not real-time.  The normal DelayCommand
        function will perform actions as soon
        as the delay is finished.  With this
        system, actions are performed after a
        check has been made to see if the delay
        has finished.  This system is not meant
        to completely replace the DelayCommand,
        only where it's use is not needed.

    For a clear example on how to implement this
        system, refer to the test module included
        in the download package.

    The following variable needs to be defined to
        properly calculate delays using this system.
        Module Properties -> Advanced -> Minutes/Hour
        value.
