Thanks guys that helped. I did use both the WAIT and HALT commands and it worked. I also discovered that
(1) i can do my computation then
(2) write the text i want to use as a tag then
(3) SWAP
(4) put '+' sign
(5) MSGBOX
this will tag the result as well as halt program execution at the same time, until i press OK to continue.
My next question with this procedure is
How do i use the Carriage Return so that my result goes to the next line just like the ENTER key does on Microsoft Applications.

Try using the HALT (PRG -> NXT -> NXT -> RUN -> HALT) command. To continue execution, press the CONT (leftshift ON). If you're trying to debug a usr rpl program, you might like to know the RUN directory is devoted to debugging and it would be useful to read up on it.
