please use appropriate (meaning descriptive) subjects :roll:

anyways... your pause would be

main loop
...
if pauseFlag = true then
     loop
     exit when hasch
     end loop
      pauseFlag = false %reset the flag
     getch(c) %clear buffer
end if
...
end main loop


create a flag variable that will trigger a "waiting" loop
