Try sending this before the file:
/sleep {
1000 mul usertime add
{ dup
usertime
lt {exit} if
} loop
pop
} bind def
/*showpage /showpage load def
/showpage {
5000 sleep
*showpage
} bind def
In GoScript, I can even have the interpreter wait for a keystroke before
continuing:
/pause {
(con) (r) file read
} bind def
/*showpage /showpage load def
/showpage {
pause
*showpage
} bind def
