Thanks very much for you advice, it works and is really convenient.
One thing I notice is that, in this solution, if the script executing has been
entering the block of functions whose prefix begin with "test_" (required by
watir test), it will pause only after the finish the whole block of that
function, rather than pause at the moment when I selecting part of the console
window.
For example,
-----------------------------------------------
100 def test_b
101 goto_System_Admin
102 arr = Array.new
103 arr[0] = "specify the IP address of name servers for your environment."
104 goto_Verify_Help("nameserver", arr)
105 end
-----------------------------------------------
Imaging the script executing has been entering function test_b, now is
executing line 101, I try to pause it by selecting part of the console window
at that moment, however, it continue to execute until finish executing line 105.
If it could be paused at the moment when selecting part of console window, it
will be better.
Regards,
Jason

There's a really easy, low-tech way to do this in
Windows. Any console application can be paused by
selecting part of the console window. Try this:
-Open a windows command prompt.
-Right-click on the title bar and select Properties.
-Select the Options tab, check QuickEdit Mode, click
OK.
-Start running the test script.
-Stop the script by selecting some area of the console
window so that it's now highlighted (it may take a
second for the current browser action to finish
completing).
-Right-click in the window to clear the selected area
so the script can continue.
It's basically the same as a keypress option without
the need to worry about coding the behavior.
