And, as I have earlier worked with Matlab, I therefore believed that 
*pause* worked like its *keyboard*:
http://www.mathworks.se/help/matlab/ref/keyboard.html

keyboard , when placed in a program .m file, stops execution of the 
file and gives control to the keyboard. The special status is 
indicated by a K appearing before the prompt. You can examine or 
change variables; all MATLAB® commands are valid. This keyboard mode 
is useful for debugging your functions.
