I'm sorry I always complain a bit ... some eaten chars again ... this works
when pasting the text from clipboard by mouse:

plot x
pause mouse
plot 1-x

but this eats one character:


plot x
pause -1
plot 1-x

It should be anyway, as they use different technology for pausing (hotkey
in menu, message box, etc).
