<P>
 If the <CODE>PAUSE</CODE> command is encountered in a
 <font size=-1 face="Arial black" color="red">EXTREMA</font> script that is being
 executed, interactive control is passed back to the user. Commands can
 then be entered interactively. To continue execution of the script, type the
 <CODE>&lt;ENTER&gt;</CODE> key, with focus in the command entry area, without
 entering anything. The script will then
 continue execution with the command immediately following the
 <CODE>PAUSE</CODE> command.</p>
<p>
 By default, the message <font color="orange">'type the &lt;ENTER&gt; key to continue the script'</font>
 will be displayed. You can specify the message by entering a character string with the command.</p>
