Perhaps a better way to check for pausing_keep_force is to use a command
with pausing_keep_force and right after issue a different command with
pausing_keep. Then if the pausing_keep response comes in but you haven't
received a response for the pausing_keep_force command then you know by
virtue of the commands being processed in order that pausing_keep_force
is not available.

Cheers,
Rob.
