how to pause the execution of this batch script in windows terminal

[MorPas]

Good morning, everyone.
I apologize if this stupid request maybe can be solved in a simple way, but I could not find a solution to this problem in Google. In a nutshell, I would like to know how to pause the execution of this bat script when run in Windows terminal, as it can be done in the classic command prompt.

As a hobby I have to consult a few hundred urls a day, and I have to update this list weekly. To automate some of the work, I created a *.bat file with a structure similar to this one:

start chrome "https://apnews.com"
timeout /t 10
start chrome "https://www.upi.com"
timeout /t 10
start chrome "https://www.reuters.com"
timeout /t 10
start chrome "https://www.ansa.it"
timeout /t 10
start chrome "https://www.afp.com"
timeout /t 10
.....

When using the command prompt, I can simply highlight any item on the screen, capture any useful data, and then restart the script by pressing any key, as in the photo.
In windows terminal, on the other hand, any interaction (Press PAUSE on the virtual keyboard, CTRL-S, click on the text....) just starts the loading of the next web page, except by closing the session, and starting over from scratch.

Using the prompt simulation within terminal offers no change.

Same result with Quick-edit enabled or not, I can only speed up the script, but not pause it.
Is there some command I have to enter first, or do I have to rebuild the list in a new language (I've been running it since XP, it always worked until Windows Terminal was introduced)?
Or do I need to uninstall terminal,and use cmd.exe?
