Short answer: I don't know. That line was in the sample peekpoke code
from the TS Web site, so I left it in.

Long answer: What it does is tell the compiler to insert five no-op
instructions at that point in the code. My only guess is that it adds
a very short delay at that point. Maybe something to do with the
mapped I/O registers needing extra time????
