How can I introduce a delay between characters written with the FPRINTF command in MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)?

I use FPRINTF to write strings. I would like to be able to specify a fixed delay between each character written.

To introduce a delay between each written character, please see the function FPRINTFD.

This function accepts a fileID, fixed delay, and string as inputs. It writes characters one at a time, to the output specified by the fileID, and executes a PAUSE command between each write. If the function sees the backslash operator, '\', it performs a write with this and the next character.
