I think if you look through the archives, you'll see that Steve (the other Steve) is looking for the ability to pause a running program, then do some things manually, then resume the running program. At the moment, this is not as easy to do with EMC2 as it is with some other controls. There are changes in CVS TRUNK that may make it work a bit closer to what he wants. Steve - how about trying those changes out and letting us know if they work for you?
