        Note: This keyword must be last in the string command sequence but precede the WAIT or NOTIFY keywords.

      WAIT
        The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application.
      NOTIFY
        The command is executed asynchronously, allowing control to be returned immediately to the application. When the requested action is complete, an MM_MCINOTIFY message is sent to the application window procedure.
