Start up delay

how delay @ start of loop? happens once. ie power arduino. waits 5 seconds before running through loop(). 5 second delay doesnt happen each time goes through loop?

code: [select]

loop()
{
delay(5000);
}

gives 5 second delay every time loop executed, want have delay once, @ beginning.

easy, put delay in setup() part of sketch.
