I know this has come up before, but I still don't feel I understand when 
to use which of these functions, and when to use the second parameter of 
Delay.  I have noticed that sometimes Pause seems more effective then 
Delay at suppressing undesired speech.  For example, If I temporarily 
disable speech with SpeechOff, type some keystrokes, Delay, then restore 
speech, sometimes I still get undesired speech seemingly no matter how 
long the Delay is, and even if I use True as a second parameter.  In 
this situation, Pause does seem to suppress the undesired speech.

Naturally, I want to minimize time delays with speech off, so I'd like 
to call whichever function is optimal.  Can folks share the best of 
their understanding/experiences on Pause versus Delay?
