Code:

KeyWait, Enter, D ; Pause the script until Enter is keyed in

Given the fact that you had registered in our forum before me, I cannot make any sense why have posted a query in Scripts and Functions!

Its okay.. but did I answer your query right?.. Thinking it again..

Code:

Enter::Pause

The above can halt a loop, like in

Code:

Loop {
  Tooltip, %A_Now%
  Sleep 1  
}
Return


Enter::Pause

Or maybe, even a Message Box would suffice

Code:

Msgbox, Press Enter to Continue

i actually want a solution where it sends output, pauses for input (without a msgbox), then when i press ENTER, it continues on with the macro.
