Pause

Format: P[ause]
Produces a pause in a command file.

Example:

Enter command -  p
Output:

Enter 'E' to end input file, 'K' to use keyboard, or just Enter to continue
The pause allows the user to read what has appeared on screen. It also gives him or her the chance to abort the command file, by pressing E, or to take temporary control of EASISTAT as if the INPUT KEY command had been issued, by pressing K. In the latter case he or she can return later to the command file (which remains open) by entering INPUT CLOSE (to finish keyboard input).

This command is ignored if EASISTAT has been run with the -I switch, which causes it to ignore errors and pauses.
