The 'halt' instruction might serve you well, it pauses for approximately
1/200th of a second provided interrupts are not disabled, so it is quite
easy to set up a djnz loop that will delay for a fairly consistent amount
of time. 'nop' might also be of use should you only want to pause for very
short periods of time.
