Is there a command that a person can use to let the macro called ---> "send", wait a while, instead of adding a "sleep"-command? Reason for asking is, some PC's are slower than others to respond...I need to apply a couple of "send's" ( macro's ) in my program BUT....the next "send" command must first wait for the previuos "send"-command to finish...
send "wait"?

No where near a noob nor a pro coder.

This page should help. More specifically look at the SendKeyDelay part.

...doubt if this will help, as you still have to enter a specific time for delay...Thing is, on slow computers i wont have a clue how long the delay might vary

What are you intending to do with this script?
And just to be safe, you can use Sleep ( 5000 )

Does the window text or title change when you send one Send(), and before you need to send the next? If so you could use WinWait with the new title or text and the script will pause until that window exists, or the command times out if you use that parameter.

The Send() function does not return until it is complete, same as most functions.
