Pause suspends command script execution until the user presses any key other than Esc or End. When a pause initiated with the command pause is in effect, pressing End will abort script execution. The pause will not be included in any movie that is being recorded, because no new frames are drawn during that time; to generate pauses in a movie, wait should be used instead.
Alternatively (without use of the pause command), command script execution can be paused/resumed by pressing Shift-Esc or aborted by pressing Esc.
