If you are content with 'enter':

===================
WScript.Echo "Press [ENTER] to continue..."
' This will not return until [ENTER] is pressed.
WScript.StdIn.ReadLine
WScript.Echo "Done."
===================

Or with a box:

===================
MsgBox("Press [ENTER] to continue...")
WScript.Echo "Done."
===================
