I ran into an issue for a use case of pause in the command window.  pause were
entered through text cut/paste, not keyboard.   Text editor I have is
notepad++. 

Please cut/paste these below into command window.  These two groups are the
same except, for the latter, a carriage return is entered right after the
pause. 

When I pasted the lines, the first pause does not work at all. 0 and 1 were
displayed automatically without any feedback from me. After all done, I then
used arrow up key back to the first line, pause works under this condition.

For the 2nd pause, at the end of the line, below, the first character of the
line is always ignored/missing. 

display(0); pause, display(1)
display(0); pause,
display(1)


>>
>> display(0); pause, display(1)
0
1
>> isplay(0); pause,
error: 'isplay' undefined near line 1, column 1
>> display(1)
