I can successfully run Sabre for Windows on my Mac, both in the PC side of my MacBook *and* on my G5 connecting to a PC terminal through Remote Desktop Connection.

However ... in running a Sabre script, there comes a point at which I am instructed to "Pause" the script, do some more work in Sabre, and then resume the script. In order to "pause" the script, I need the equivalent of the "PAUSE" key on a MS keyboard. Short of buying a Windows keyboard, is there any way I can program one of the 16 function keys to work as the Pause key?

There is no "pause" key on a standard PC keyboard. There could be one on a keyboard with additional media keys but there should be an equivalent key shortcut for standard keyboards.

There are three keys on a Windows keyboard above the six keys above the numeric keypad:

Print Screen - Scroll Lock - Pause
