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.

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 root 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.
