Enabling progamming by holding down a button

With all the good ideas being posted lately, I thought I'd just share how I enable a 2 second hold down functionality. There seem to some very complex alternatives being posted too!

I have a 6 button in my master bedroom. When I push button 6, everything in the master bedroom turns off. However, if I push the button and hold it for 2 seconds, the entire house will shut off.

Brad, that's really awesome. Very elegant. I've just replaced about 10 lines of code for one of my delay switches with about 3 lines thanks to your post. Thanks!

I also created a single variable, called PAUSE, which I'm going to use anywhere that I have those short delays. I think the risk that two people are using a PAUSE function at the same time is pretty slim, and since your code sets it back to FALSE at button release, it will always be in the correct default state.
