Is there a G-code that can pause Mach 3 while running a program?

I'm using a Sherline sensitive drilling tool to drill some small holes (lots of 0.022" dia holes). I can extract the drill hole location into a separate G-code file. I need to pause the controller between each hole while I manually plunge the drill. I did a search but was unable to find anything on point. I hope that doesn't mean there is no way to pause a running program?
TIA,
Ken

M0 - program stop. I guess that will work. I'll have to check it in the morning. I didn't think would work as I was looking for something lick a pause command.
Thanks.

It may be a pause command to you but from my thinking it's a stop command. Any way it works like you stated and I'm on my way to drilling 48 tiny holes. Just hit the button and push down on the plunger, on the next hole. Step and repeat.
Thanks,
Ken
