NAME
     pause.exe - stop machine for a while

SYNOPSIS
     pause [-tick] [text]

     device=pause.exe [-tick] [text]

DESCRIPTION
     This  program  pauses  execution  until  specified number of
     ticks elapsed or any key is typed. The  typed  key  is  dis-
     carded.

     If  no  tick  is specified, then the program simply awaits a
     key typed. The typed key is discarded.

     If text exists then  it  is  displayed  before  the  program
     pauses.

     When  written  in config.sys file then the program exits and
     does not reside on memory after its termination.

EXAMPLES
     pause for 2 seconds in command line in config.sys using  the
     program on d:\bootprog.

          device=d:\bootprog\pause.exe -36 displayed text


     Pause indefinitely on command line using the program in current directory.

          .\pause hit any key ...


FEATURES
     This program can be a reinvented wheel.

     Using  this  program  on  command.com  command lines must be
     guarded against the disaster it eats the program name.
