Thank you, Antoine.  I got this to work.  My main program and my function were 
all in one file.  Evidently that's why my pause statement was ignored.  Now I 
tried your idea, of calling the function from the console.

The funny thing is that the first time I tried this, scilab spontaneously 
informed me of the values of the two local variables of my function.  As I 
continued practicing the technique, the behavior changed.  On all my subsequent 
attempts, I had to type in the name a local variable at the -1-> prompt.  I 
don't mind -- I'm happy -- but it is mysterious.
