Thanks everyone.

I should have mentioned that why I used head first.
The list contained number of lines for easy reading.

So in actual case, I of course have to remove head

You didn't provide the head line, however "head -1" is Useless Use of head when you use awk.
Code:
awk '{if(NR>1)if($1=="wget")print $0"\47\nsleept 5"}' list.txt > out.txt

Code:
wget -q -O - 'http://test.com:15100/cgi-bin/search'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz1'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz11'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz1111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz11111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz111111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz1111111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz11111111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz111111111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz1111111111'
wget -q -O - 'http://zzzz11111111111'

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

file=file.txt
out=out.txt

rm -f out.txt

list=$(cat $file | head -1 | sed -e 's/ /+++/g')

for i in $list
do
        res=$(echo $i | sed -e 's/+++/ /g')
        echo $res >> $out
        echo sleep 5 >> $out
done

cat $out

Code:
./soemac
wget -q -O - 'http://test.com:15100/cgi-bin/search'
sleep 5

Or use your code:
Code:
out=out.txt
for f in `cat list.txt | head -1 | sed -e 's/ /+++/g'`; do
	
	echo $f | sed -e 's/+++/ /g' >> $out
	echo "sleep 5" >> $out
done

The cat and the backticks are Useless. Also there is nothing ksh-specific in there, so might as well use plain sh. Proper quoting of the argument would save you from all the sed trickery. But in the end all you really need is

Code:
sed 'a\
sleep 5' file.txt

This is completely equivalent to the awk solution somebody posted earlier, albeit perhaps a little bit less readable (also known as "more succinct").
