PAUSE--Notes

Prompting the user to continue the program MS-DOS displays the following message in response to the PAUSE command: Press any key to continue . . . Dividing a batch file into sections If you press CTRL+C to stop a batch program, MS-DOS displays the following message: Terminate batch job (Y/N)? If you press Y (for yes) in response to this message, the batch program ends and control returns to the operating system. Therefore, you can insert the PAUSE command before a section of the batch file you may not want to process. While PAUSE suspends processing of the batch program, you can press CTRL+C and then Y to stop the batch program.
