idle

           Suspend command line for window event processing

           cafe

           idle

           none

           general - quit only when key pressed. This keyword may be
                     to apply idle for any widget program running in
                     the cafe environment (example: xloadct).
                     If this keyword is not used the command
                     immediately stops when no wplot window is
                     present.

           This command is related to the wplot command. If wplot is
           called with the option /idle the command line may be
           used as before. The problem is that on the other hand
           wplot buttons can not be used because cafe could not
           support processing of widget events (like button click
           etc.).
           This is the job for the idle command. When executing, the
           command line is suspended but the wplot window may be
           used.

           Press any key to stop the IDLE command.

           Polls for widget events.
