Help. A better way to Fire my LEDs

Posts: 14
I've been working through the Stamp works book and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how take control of my program.· I'm hoping for some help?
Below I have some code to fire 12 LEDs that are setup ready to go 1 through 12.· I'm looking to define my delays·for after my button push·and run through everything in the body of the code prior ro firing anything.· When I use Pause, of course its going through the code consecutively, so I'll never be able to fire LED 1 & 12 at the same time·500ms after the button push.
Can anyone hook me up with an example of how to this better accompanied by an explanation? [noparse];)[/noparse]

'
' basic Stamp manual p.139 - Change the value (200) in BUTTON to effect the delay
' its modes: 0 = no delay; 1-254 = varying delays before auto-repeat;
' 255 = no auto-repeat (only one action per button press)
'
' The BUTTON instruction will cause the program to branch to
' No_Press unless P0 = 0
'
' The body of the program is simply triggering the LED with a delay
' LOW ensures the OUTPUT of the PIN is set TO 0 off
' PAUSE is set under constants and is a way of offsetting the LED response
' HIGH simply fires the LED 1
' LOW sets the LED back to o off
