Have you seen the example in the HotKeySet Helpfile page?

Check out the "TogglePause" function.

You can change the code....

Don't like the tooltip? take it out?

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
Global $Paused;Default is unpaused (0=off 1=on)

While 1
    ;Your script goes here
    Tooltip("Script is running");only for demonstrations sake
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused ;changes $Paused from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0
    While $Paused ; while $Paused = 1
        sleep(100) ; idle around (pause)
    WEnd
EndFunc

There is no difference. Look at the example again, you will notice it is declared in the first line:

Global $Paused

yea but is global $pause is really pausing the script cause i use things like global $opennn then i call it in the functions and it yust do what i put in the code, so why $pause pauses the script with out having to put code when calling it in the functions
