pause
The PAUSE command is used to temporarily halt command processing until the user types any character on the keyboard or makes a pick with the mouse in the Adams View window or until the number of seconds specified with the optional parameter, time_delay, expires. Even though this command can be used during an interactive session it is most useful when used in a command file. Stopping command processing during the execution of a command file facilitates demo's, presentations, and so on.
