 =====Pausing and resuming MIDI playback=====
-//by Richard Russell, May 2006//\\ \\  BBC BASIC for Windows allows you to play a MIDI file using the ***PLAY** command. Whilst you can terminate playback before the song has finished by using the **SOUND OFF** statement, there is no built-in mechanism for //pausing// playback.\\ \\  The program below makes it possible to pause and resume playback. For the purposes of the example a key-press is used, but the code can be adapted to control playback from any other source. For example in a game you may wish to pause the music whilst a high-score table is displayed.\\ \\

 You may need to change the MIDI file specification if your PC doesn't have **Flourish.mid** in that location.
