I am using this hack function "pause" to stop script execution and wait for keyboard "enter" key to continue. Sort of break point function. Also works fine with one exception - it does not work when used within while do/done code.

No big issue, but like to know what so special with while do /cone code.
First off: while-loops are not special at all. AND you might want to investigate the select-keyword of the shell instead of rolling your own replacement for it.

One possible reason (to be honest there is too little information to accurately debug your problem) is that read reads from standard input. If you have redirected this input somewhere above in your script than it might read from some unexpected place.

I hope this helps.
