NEXT_STEP (a child element of STEP) causes the program to jump to the next STEP.
NEXT_STEP supports the use of an integer or a numerical expression constructed by the child elements of NUMBER_OBJECT as value. This value means the delay (in milli-second) before the jumping is done. NEXT_STEP can also be used without value, and in this case it means the jumping is done immediately.
By default, the program will automatically jump to the next step immediately after the end of a step. You can use NEXT_STEP to cause the program to jump to the next step immediately, skipping all the remaining elements in the current step. On the other hand, NEXT_STEP can also be used (with a value) to cause the program to jump to the next step with a delay.
