You can also use UserForms to create your own modal dialog to communicate to the tester and even prompt for responses and such.

Previous question I showed you how to popup a message.......
&nbsp;
in javascript you can write some thing like.....&nbsp;
function How2Stop()
{
  var xyz = null;
  // you fogot to set value to xyz before test run
  if (xyz==null){
    BuiltIn.ShowMessage('Terrible thing happend, I have do this manualy');
    Runner.Pause();
  } 
}
