I don't know if I'm doing this right, but I want to 'suspend' the smartnav, e.g. while i type something, but I can't see how to do it. The F9 Pause doens't seem to work. I don't know if that's becuase I've misinterpreted the help which says 'Starts/stops cursor movement' which sounds about right, or for some reason the F9 isn't properly set up.

It's likely setup. an F9 pause should stop the mouse from responding until it is pressed again. Do you by chance have a keyboard with function keys enabled on it? Many laptop and multimedia/office keyboards have the F-keys reassigned to other duties like undo/spellcheck or play/ffwd/rwd et. cetera. Take a look for an F-lock key.

Alternatively, you can go to the SmartNAV control panel and re-define the pause button to another key by clicking on the button labeled F9, then pressing the button you want to use.

As a sidenote, if you are using Dragon NaturallySpeaking (voice recognition software) it is straightforward to define a voice command to suspend the SmartNAV (as way as for re-centering the mouse cursor).

SmartNav has a hotkey for pause, so you could always set that and use dragon premier to create a macro for that key "Press Control-F9" or "Pause SmartNav" mapped to the hotkey.

I wish the dwell clicking software had also a hotkey for pause
