#Input.Pause

##Syntax Input.Pause

##Description The Input.Pause procedure simply waits for a key to be pressed and then returns. It echoes the key pressed if echo mode is set. (See View.Set for setting echo mode)

This subprogram helps avoid having to declare a variable declaration and then make a call to getchor getchar.

##Example This program pauses after every name read from the file.

    var f : int
    var line : string
    open : f, "data.txt", get
    loop
        exit when eof (f)
        get : f, line : *
        put name
        Input.Pause
    end loop
    close : f

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Input.Pause, not by calling Pause.
