I'd do it something like this:

+ Code Snippet

bool pause;

if ( pause == 0){

//perform all of the level junk, blah blah blah...
//... and also put this in here somewhere to pause the game:

     if ( dbReturnKey() ) {
          pause = 1;
     }
}
if (pause == 1) {
     //You can have a simple Enter in Enter out pause menu by just 
     //adding one line of code in this...

     dbSprite ( sprite number, X, Y, Image of pause screen );
 
      //...Or you could fill this with code that runs an item menu
      //like in Legend of Zelda...

      // and then you add this to exit the menu:

           if (dbReturnKey()){
           pause = 0;
           }
     }

If you do this, all of the code for the levels has to be put in the "{ }"s of the argument "if (pause == 0)", so that if "pause" is equal to 1, everything in the level will just freeze in place.

Hope that helps!
