+
+    The condition could be a Question and a Resolution, or it could be you (the
+    test runner) pressing ``enter`` on your keyboard.
+
+    If this Action is used directly (like ``Stop()``), the Actor will stop until
+    you press enter to continue the test. In this way it can be used to assess
+    the current state of the system under test, similar to :ref:`Debug`.
+
+    If this Action is passed a Question and a Resolution, it will tell the Actor
+    to stop until the condition is met. This is essentially the same as
+    :ref:`Eventually` (:ref:`See` (...)), but does not carry the connotation of a
+    test assertion.
