SpartaDOS X Reference Manual

The Command Processor — Commands

Suspends system processing and displays the message "Press <RETURN> to continue".
 

You can insert PAUSE commands within a batch file to provide the opportunity to change diskettes between commands or to step through a process, giving you time to read instructions, etc.

To resume execution of the batch file, press the <RETURN> key.

NOTE: It is very dangerous to change diskettes (during a PAUSE) on the drive from which the batch file was running. If using PAUSE to change diskettes, run the batch file from a RAMDISK or another drive which will not be changing.
