  Gosh - anytime I want to boot without Windows? You mean, like, when
I'm staring at my PC with its big, red button in "OFF"-position, I
just type "boot plain" and turn on my computer  ;-)

  Seriously, though, even if it seems like an overkill I'll suggest
using 4DOS. Amongst its many pros, it has an INKEY function which when
giwen the argument /wxxx waits xxx seconds for the user to enter
something. In that way, you don't have to press anything to boot
normally, which would otherwise be a real nuisance (the pause command
requires you to type in something).
