Hi, for making a pause in a program you may use the wait functions:
http://mbed.org/handbook/Wait You also may try Thread::wait function
About stopping the program, generally it have a infinite loop (while(1)). The only thing you have to do is use the break function to exit the loop
I hope this information was helpful

You could set up a serial connection with a terminal and then use getc() which will stop the program until a key is pressed?

You could set up a I/O pin to respond to a interrupt and connect a button there. see http://mbed.org/handbook/InterruptIn Something usefull could be .. one press on the button and the program stops and a led turns on ..another press on the button makes the program run ( from the point where was stopped) and the led turns off.
