[Axiom-math] (no subject)

Dear Colleagues,

Any assistance with the following will be appreciated:

(1) In a user defined function what is the instruction to display something
like a symbolic
     variable, etc., and then to pause (and continue after hitting enter)
??

    eg in matlab: 
    a = 1 
    pause; 
    b = 3 
    pause;

(2) In axiom is there a built-in function to solve a set of nonlinear
equations analytically (or if                           necessary
numerically) wrt the user specified unknowns ??
      
    eg. in matlab
    solve('x1*x2 + a*x2^2 = 10', ' x1 - x2 = 2', 'x1', 'x2');


Regards,

C. Frangos.
