Slic3r adding a Pause at specific layer height

I am trying to add a pause at a specific layer height. i have managed to do this by manually editing the G code file after its been exported from Slic3r.

i open the gcode file in notepad and do a find for "Z5.60" and paste this in


G91 ; Put in relative mode
G1 Z20 ; Raise nozzle by 20mm
G90 ; Put back in absolute mode
G1 X0 Y0 ; Zero (home) the X & Y
G1 Y 200 ; Move Print Bed to the front
M0 Click To Restart ; Pause and wait for the user
G91 ; Put in relative mode
G1 Z-20 ; Lower Nozzle by 20mm
G90 ; Put back in absolute mode

this works fine when its 1 or 2 files, but i have lots i need to slice, and was hoping to use the custom gcode settings to add this automatically, when using a certain printer profile. but i am stumped as to add it in at a specific layer Z5.60

so i am asking for your help with this..... is it possible?
