12.4.10 Pausing a program: Pause WAIT
The Pause command pauses Xcas.
-
Pause takes one optional argument (with no
parentheses).
Optionally, r, a positive number.
- Pause r pauses Xcas for r seconds.
- Pause brings up a Pause informational window and
pauses Xcas until you click Close in the Pause window.
Example.

The WAIT command also pauses Xcas. It acts just
like Pause, but uses parentheses for its argument.
