This one is easy! You can make and JavaScript command execute after a delay by typing the command like this:

setTimeout(" your function ", delay in milliseconds)

So for example, this function would make an alert box appear 5 seconds after you click the button.

function MsgBox() {
    alert("Hello There");
}

<FORM>
    <INPUT type=button value="try it" onClick="setTimeout('MsgBox()',5000)">
</FORM>

So, when I made my welcome window a few pages ago, I simply had to use this function in the <BODY onLoad=" "> statement.

function Welcome() {
    NewWindow = window.open("welcome.html", "", "width=200,height=200");
    SetTimeout("NewWindow.close()", 5000);
}
