So how does the command based programming model help the novice programmer achieve concurrency, like for example when they want to wait for 3 seconds after performing one action before performing the next action, without stalling their processing of the 20ms DS packets ?

Please note: this is not veiled criticism of the command based model; I'm just trying to untangle things.
