Pause action (<pause> element)

The Pause action waits for a specified number of milliseconds and then terminates.

More specifically, the macro runtime finds the <pause> element, reads the duration value, and waits for the specified number of milliseconds. Then the macro runtime goes on to perform the next item.

Uses for this action are:

Any situation in which you want to insert a wait.
Waiting for the host to update the host terminal. For more information see Screen completion.
To add delay for debugging purposes.

This action can be specified using the VME, see Pause action, and using the AME, see Pause action.
