Simple 'Button Setup' dialog question

[MarkSLC]

Could someone tell me what the popup options Halt/Exit/Resume/Pause are used for in the Options area of the Format->Button Setup... dialog?

I wonder about this every time I go into this dialog and click Specify... to link a script to a button. I leave the popup at the default 'Pause', but I don't notice any pausing going on when I click my button--my script executes without hesitation.

Hi Mark,

I am not sure if this entirely correct but I have always presumed that it refers to what should happen if you pressed this button whilst another script was running. Would you want the running script to pause halt etc

The pause means that all other scripts will pause while that one is running. Halt will halt all other scripts and resume will resume a script that has been paused.

THANKS. I get it now.
