Command Based Programming (Threads?)

Thanks for the response. I hope you don't mind some follow-up questions:

          addSequential(new FireCommand());
          addSeqiential(new waitCommand(1));
          addSequential(new FireCommand());
     }
}

What does the waitCommand() do, "under the hood". i.e., how is it implemented?

Another way to do it would be to check the time passed in the execute method of a command to see if the period of time you want to wait has passed.

Is there a "recommended" or "best practice" way to implement that approach?
