Time Delay - strings

-----------------------------------

Hi! I am a beginner at comp sci in my first year and I am ever so loving Turing. I'm interested in how to incorporate a time delay in things... let me explain. I found this neat code in the help:

for i : 1 .. 10
            put i
            delay (1000)    % Pause for 1 second
        end for

that goes
1
2
3
with one second in between them.

How would I be able to make it go
a
b
c
with one second in between? I have tried fiddling with it and editing it, but like I said I know very little but the bare basics.

Eventually I'd also like to input strings:
one
two
three
with one second, or 2 seconds in between.

If you anyone could help, thanks a lot!

what u need to do i is have a string/array to hold the words  for your abc example, just have this


var letters:="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
for i : 1 .. 26
    put letters(i)
    delay (1000) 
end for


as for ur one two three example, u'd have to use an array to hold the words
