Yes, the call you're looking for is Delay and takes two parameters, e.g.:

    // do stuff

    Delay( kFourSecondsInTicks, &finalTicks );

    // continue doing stuff

The first parameter is how long you want to delay (yes, in ticks).
The second is the address of a long into which the system will return
how many ticks have gone by from system startup to the end of 
the delay.

The delay call may or may not "pause" exacty the number of ticks
you specify but it usually won't be off by more than 1 tick.

Hope this helps,
Scott
