Try sending this before the file:

/sleep {
	1000 mul usertime add
	{	dup
		usertime
		lt {exit} if
	} loop
	pop
} bind def
 
/*showpage /showpage load def
/showpage {
	5000 sleep
	*showpage
} bind def

In GoScript, I can even have the interpreter wait for a keystroke before
continuing:

/pause {
	(con) (r) file read
} bind def

/*showpage /showpage load def
/showpage {
	pause
	*showpage
} bind def
