MC-Basic:IDLETASK$

This command stops the task at the end of the line currently being executed, and idles all its events. An idled task can be continued (using the CONTINUETASK command) or terminated (using the KILLTASK command).

IDLETASK$ does not stop the motion currently executing. This is significant because all the events are idled and cannot respond to axis motion.
