To Noah, I assume this is for a newer calc, since you can define your own 
commands like that.  You can't do this with the 86. (can you?)

To the original post, the best thing with a calc where you cannot define 
your own commands would just be to create a loop.

:Disp "Hello"
:For(A,1,20
:End

You can still fool around with loops -- if you discover that
:For(A,1,5) lasts one second, then you'll know that
:For(A,1,15) should last about three seconds.

An issue that's been brought up many times before is battery power.  If you 
only want to display text for a few seconds, this is good.  If you want to 
time a game, it probably won't end up correctly.
