  As indicated in the original post, I was aware of the "pause
  mouse" feature.  But I did not elaborate on why I did not want to
  use it;  here's why:  With pause -1, the user can examine the plot
  by using all the commands that show up after typing h (such as p
  for previous zoom).  With "pause mouse", I do not know how to
  continue to offer the user those commands -- can it be done, and
  if so how?

  Thanks,
