@echo off
:BANNER

Sleep doesn't work in batch.
Anyway, why do you want to do this? What purpose will it serve?
You might be able to do it using the "ping sleep work-around", but again, I don't really understand why you'd want to do this...
An explaination of the "ping sleep work-around":
Useing the ping command in the following way can effectively mimic the desired output of a "sleep" command
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000
NOTES:
1.1.1.1 MUST BE AN INVALID IP ON YOUR NETWORK
The number following "-w" is the number of milliseconds to "wait", therefore 1000 = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds.
The "pinging 1.1.1.1 with ..." dialog still displays
-
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul
will not display the "pinging 1.1.1.1 with..." part.
