Hi Tanja -- glad I could help!

The daily build has a few things that will help here.  First, there is  
a "pause" command that will cause a script to pause until any key  
other than Escape or End is pressed.  Those two keys will cause the  
script to abort instead of continuing.

Secondly, even without an explicit "pause" command any script can be  
paused by hitting Shift-Escape.  A second Shift-Escape will continue  
the script.  Also, plain Escape (no Shift) will cause any script to  
abort.

I hope the presentation goes well!
