Is it possible to create a time lapse in a script?

Let's say I want the script to display something so the user can read it, and then have the user enter an imput. How can I do this without having to input a value first?

Display the passage in the top and then ask for input at the bottom. The user will read the text and whenever he's finished, he'll enter the required data. But I guess this is not exactly what you had in mind, is it? When the time for reading a text is supposed to be limited, like an exam or such, we use a Timer. So when the program runs, a count down begins in the background, and when it's finished, some code will be executed automatically. Like hiding the text and asking for input. Google "using Timer in C#" for more info. It's just too hard to explain here.

I tried to use Private static System. Timers.Timer aTimer; (as shown on the website) but it keeps saying the member static must precede with the member type and name.
