SOLVED: input 13 pin to pause current operation

Hardware
Probotix FireBall V90

Software
EMC 2.3.3

Hi all.
What i am trying to do is, using a estop switch not to stop the operation as a normal estop. but, trying to get it to just PAUSE the current operation.

the reason is that by pausing the operation when i unpause it will start form the line i paused it at instead of starting at line 1, which is what estop makes it do.

How to: i intend to connect the switch to pin 13 on the parallel port. i haven't worked it out and can't find any instructions in the forum or other forums....

PROCESS: pushing a momentary switch will change value on pin 13 of the break out board instructing the computer to pause operation, exactly like if you push the "P" key on your keyboard

ALL HELP WELCOMED! thank you
