Problem

Symptoms: The {CANCEL OFF} key isn't recognized when a {PAUSE} is inserted in a macro. Solutions: This is working as designed. We explained an alternate route for the customer using the {LOOK} command. A {PAUSE} command pauses the actions of the macro allowing the user to type. In the paused state, the F1 key is read, however, the {ON CANCEL} command cannot be activated because of the paused state of the macro. 5.0 had this restriction. 5.1 uses the {LOOK} command to check each key to determine what key has been pressed and then responds by ignoring further activity or continuing on with execution by re- looping according to the key pressed.
