Prompt a user and wait for response

Question

In GNUwin32 or UnxUtils, is there a way to prompt a user to "Press enter to continue" and wait for the enter key, such as the unix 'read' command. I used to have an old command 'ask' that would do something similar.

Answer 1

This could be done with standard windows command pause. But it waits for any key to be pressed, not only Enter.
