Hi Victor,

You're correct that my implementation of "pause" is not exactly identical to the desktop version of Octave. If you stick to only pressing "Enter" and not any other characters, then "pause" should work as intended.

I am not able to reproduce the second behavior you mentioned. If I run the following command, I have to press Enter 10 times before I regain control of the console.

for ii=1:10; disp(ii); pause(); end

I wonder if this might have to do with your operating system? Not sure.

Hi Shane,

I think it does not work as should though. It waits to press something, AND press `enter`: if just press something, without `enter` after it, it does nothing. While octave help says:
"If invoked without an input arguments then the program is suspended until a character is typed."

Next, Oct.-Online considers 2 keyboard presses took place, and therefore runs. If in the run it encounters another `pause()`, it does not wait, because it considers 2 presses happened. Not sure this is how it should be, as I can't test on a stand-alone Octave.

Please check with following:
```
for ii=1:10
pause()
end
```

Thanks for fixing it fast Shane, you offer great user support!

Hmm, I was thinking that just by fixing "input" function, this "pause" would work as well. So it must be more complicated than that I guess.
