Does anyone know the Java command for sleep(), as in to delay program execution?

But how does that work if you're not using Threads, just using one main program type deal? Or is that a static?

Yes, it's a static method so that's all you need.

There is always at least one thread (actually, there basically are always at least two that I can think of...) By writing Thread.sleep() you are asking the Thread class for its static method 'sleep', which will figure out which thread is running and make it sleep.
