on your system for information on this.
This will make the prg wait 1/10 sec between each character being sent.
Well, it doesn't seem to need a pause as far as I can tell. It seems more like it's looking for the Continue yes/no text, but if the key is already on that system, it never shows up and doesn't continue to input the password.
