      WAIT
        The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application. The WAIT keyword must be specified in order to receive return string information.
      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.
