[Tutor] wait command

[D. Rick Anderson]

You can always:

while 1:
    if actionvar == 'blatherskite':
        function()
        actionvar = 'notblatherskite'

That would sit and cycle until actionvar was equal to 'blatherskite' and 
then run function. It would probably be more useful if it were also 
calling another function that may be checking something and changing the 
state of actionvar.

I'm sure there's more elegant ways of doing this, but I'm not a Jedi yet. :)
