PAUSE

The PAUSE command will pause a running program in a time-controlled manner. In order to have an easy way of signaling such a pause to the user, PAUSE offers the optional string parameter. The string is output at the current cursor position and does not append a line feed. After output, the cursor remains behind the output string, as with the PRINT command.
