| VMS Help CRTL, pause, Description *Conan The Librarian | 
    The pause function suspends the calling process until delivery
    of a signal whose action is either to execute a signal-catching
    function or to terminate the process.
    If the action is to terminate the process, pause does not return.
    If the action is to execute a signal-catching function, pause
    returns after the signal-catching function returns.
