20 milliseconds is arbitrary. (Too-short times don't seem to work on slower

As for why you need to delay the command instead of just writing "choose
browse tool", this is a workaround to a "nuance" of Rev. I'm not sure
exactly what causes the simple choose command to fail under these
circumstances.
