How to create a background step?

[Gordon Blackmore]

OSS has recommend I create a background step to solve problem of condition
step not testing a change correctly.
 
The background step should read:
 
BEGIN_METHOD WASTETIME CHANGING CONTAINER.
WAIT UP TO 5 SECONDS.
END_METHOD.
 
I am still working in my first workflow, so I need a "cook book" method.
 
Thank-you in advance.
