I have no idea what do you mean. Just "plot x" and which window is focused 
afterwards? It works the same way as on X11. Also "pause -1" goes back to 
command window after you hit Enter or click "OK" button.

Otherwisse, hitting "Space" makes the command window active.

OS/2 PM has three possibilities: Pause dialog, Pause item on the menu bar of 
the graph windows; Hit Enter in the command window. It's user configurable. 
I prefer the menu bar item as it is not necessary to leave the graph window 
just to hit Enter elsewhere to continue something.dem.
