PAUSE (ver 13-MAY-2006) Abandoned Freeware PAUSE is a "device driver" that you insert into your Config.sys file the same as you would any other device (e.g., device=pause.sys), wherever you wish to pause Config.sys processing. The Config.sys file will stop processing at that point, until you press a key on your keyboard. NOTE: This driver unloads after it finishes pausing, and should -NEVER- be loaded "high".
