mswait() won't suppress any pause prompts; mswait() simply delays for a moment and then lets the script continue on.
I might be a little confused. What pause are you seeing that you need to suppress?
I've used write() before and hadn't necessarily seen it cause any pause prompts where the user had to input anything. If you're seeing such a pause prompt, I'm wondering if it might be because it's automatically pausing for input after a screenful of information, perhaps?
