Almost right, Alexander. Yigal Rosenberg was first to teach me that the
delay is also needed BEFORE the +++
Your patch is logically fine except that the chat doc explicitly says
that \d is converted into a sleep(1) which is AT MOST one second.
Indeed with one \d before and one after, it still did not work, but with
\d\d+++\d\dATH  it does work fine.

I send this reply on the list only because of the (subtle?) catch that
\d in a chat is AT MOST one second, not exactly one second.

Thanks to both of you, YR and AI, for your invaluable help.
