digitalmars.D.learn - How to send a command to the system?

I want to send a pause command to the system like in C++: 
system("pause");
Or like in Ruby: `pause`

Something like that. I searched the library, but I haven't found 
it. I tough that it might be std.system, but it was only to check 
the OS at runtime.

If you want to pause the current thread, there is Thread.sleep: import std.stdio; import core.thread; void main() { writeln("Good night."); Thread.sleep(3.seconds); writeln("Good morning."); } Ali

No, I meant a different pause. It is the one that you send to the OS and it says: Press any key to continue... But thanks for showing me the sleep function.
