i just read up on it at ti89central (ironically it was Dux who wrote it).  
you can go there to read the tutorial on interrupts.

but if you just want the gist of it, i think it's a subroutine that is run 
everytime interrupt 5 is set off.  so if you change that subroutine to make 
it add 1 to a counter, then in your main program, you can wait for it to 
reach a certain number until you proceed to the next cycle.
