Assuming you are talking about MsDos, yes.  Look into the 'choice'
command.  If you have installed the much improved shell 4dos (or
4NT) look into the 'pause' command.

All any program needs to do this is access to a system timer.  The
problems arise if the timing has to be coincidental with other
actions.
