Hi,
There seems to be 2 differences between PAUSE and WAIT.
PAUSE needs channel #0, WAIT doesn't.
True
PAUSE can be interrupted with a keypress, WAIT can't.
True
Wait comes from the outptr toolkit (on my QLStuff webpage, pointer
tools). It just suspends the calling job for x ticks : WAIT x
You can replace it with Pause - or even a simple delay loop if you want
to run it without windows pen (in the case of Pause).
FYI, on my machine runing SMSQmulator, the timings of the p procedure
would look as follows:
100 DEFine PROCedure p
110 ERT HOT_KEY('g',CHR$(27))
120 EX RAM1_Dm5_Obj
130 REMark WAIT 20 - not used !
140 HOT_DO('g')
150 WAIT 1
160 HOT_DO('g')
170 WAIT 1
180 HOT_DO('g')
190 ERT HOT_REMV('g')
200 END DEFine p
Have fun!
Wolfgang
