Introduction:
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the Pause command. In the previous Tutorial, when we used For loops to delay action, the user didn't have to do anything. However, with Pause, whatever's on the screen stays there until the user presses .

New Command:

Pause

Suspends program execution until user presses

Pause value
Pause

The Code:
There's only going to be one set of code this time and I will show both uses of Pause in the one program.

:	For AShell, SOS, and TI-Explorer
ClrHome	Clears the home screen
Lbl A
Output(3,2,"THIS TEXT WILL")	Displays "THIS TEXT WILL" on line 3
Output(4,3,"BE DISPLAYED")	Displays "BE DISPLAYED" on line 4
Output(5,1,"UNTIL YOU PRESS")	Displays "UNTIL YOU PRESS" on line 5
Output(6,6,"ENTER")	Displays "ENTER" on line 6
Pause	Suspends program and waits for user to press
219M	Stores 219 into M
ClrHome	Clears the home screen
Disp "","",""	Displays three blank lines
Pause M	Displays M and then suspends program

press press

Conclusion:
Well this tutorial was short and simple. I really could have just added Pause to another tutorial and just given you the definition and an example. You probably would have understood it just as much. Except for our first tutorial on ClrHome, this has been our shortest one. Next, we are going to learn how to use menus in our programming.
