Larry hit the mark - a bit more explanation is in order, but until then I
guess DoEvents and sleep is what you are after?

I'm guessing instructions are grouped into tasks, so while he needs to pause
task 1 he can start processing task 2.

My hunch is that there is a bunch of machines on the other end of the
COM Port, and that the 'instructions' contain a destination flag
- one machine is given a task
- while it is busy, he wants to send a task to another machine

If that is the case, then I think I can see a solution
- but ... more info would be helpful
