How you do that outside Kermit depends on the operating system.
To do it inside Kermit, use the PAUSE command. Here's the "help sleep"
text:
Syntax: PAUSE [ { number-of-seconds, hh:mm:ss } ]
Example: PAUSE 3 or PAUSE 14:52:30
Do nothing for the specified number of seconds or until the given time of
day in 24-hour hh:mm:ss notation. If the time of day is earlier than the
current time, it is assumed to be tomorrow. If no argument given, one
second is used. The pause can be interrupted by typing any character on
the keyboard unless SLEEP CANCELLATION is OFF. If interrupted, PAUSE
fails, otherwise it succeeds. Synonym: SLEEP.
