PAUSE.PPE will generate a windmill effect display using -/|\- while waiting
for a CR to be entered. It will accept two optional command line parameters
the first being the delay period, specified in seconds.      If no delay is
specified then a 2 Minute delay will be assumed.     If a negative value is
specified then the Pause will not be terminated by a CR.  The second option
is a filename (full Drive:Path\Filespec) to be used for the Prompt display.
If no filename is given then the default of PAUSE  in the same directory as
the .PPE will be used.     If a filename of ! is specified then the default
filename will be used and a  CR will be stuffed into the keyboard buffer to
allow PAUSE.PPE to be used as a replacement for PCBTEXT entry number 418.

ie. !C:\PCB\PPE\PAUSE.PPE 0 !

The filename will be displayed using DISPFILE and allows you to use GRAPH,
SEC & LANG specific files.  Be sure to include a CHR(26) at the end of the
desired text if your  editor insists on ending lines with a  CR/LF  or the
cursor will end up on the next line.

This program is being released as FREEWARE with complete source code and
can be incorporated in any program you desire.
