preset
interval
of
about
0.85 second and then continues
execution of the program
without
waiting for
the
I
ENTER
I
key
or the WAIT interval.
The first form of the PAUSE
statement
displays
a single
value.
If the expression is
numeric, the value is printed
at
the
far right of
the
displ
a
y.
If it
is
a string expression,
the display is made starting
at
the
far left.

display
unit
is
divided into
groups of
12
columns.
