WAIT command used before a command with a list'' parameter


PAW version:2.08/14
Description
After answering "Q" to the WAIT command, the ability to issue several HISTOGRAM/PLOT statements on a single line, separated by semicolons, disappears. Only the first HISTOGRAM/PLOT will be executed from now on.

The following macro shows the problem:

Histogram/File 1 .../cernlib/paw/demo/pawhists.hbook 0 -X
zone 1 2; hi/pl 100; hi/pl 110
message type Q
wait
zone 1 2; hi/pl 100; hi/pl 110
Fixed in: KUIP 2.07/13
Workaround
Do not type Q after a WAIT command if you are grouping commands with semicolons afterwards. The problem only happens with commands which have a parameter of type list (possibility to give a comma separated list of values) like HISTO/PLOT.
