\section{{\tt PAUSE} command}
\index{pause command}
\index{suspend batch mode}
\index{wait for key hit}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Syntax}
\begin{verse}
{\tt PAuse} {\it comment}
\end{verse}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Purpose}

Suspend batch mode.  Wait for the user to hit a key.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Status}

This command does not work on all systems, due to buffering of console i/o.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Comments}

Prints {\tt Continue?} and waits for a key hit.  Type `{\tt n}', `{\tt N}',
escape or control-c to terminate the batch mode.  Type anything else to 
continue.

Any {\it comment} is ignored.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Examples}

\begin{description}

\item[{\tt pause Try more gain}]

\item[{\tt pause}] These both work the same.  Ask to continue, wait for a
key hit, then go on.

\end{description}
