An SF340 first officer was attending to other duties as his captain taxied out to the runway. After stopping to let another aircraft pass, the first officer did not notice that the captain continued taxiing without permission. They were again told to stop and realized that they were then blocking a DC9 from entering its gate.

Narrative:
On oct/xa/99, flight X taxied to runway 10 via taxiway C. The ground controller told us to hold short of taxiway B. The captain stopped at taxiway B to let an air carrier B737 aircraft Y pass, then continued the taxi without clearance. I (the first officer) did not notice the captain continuing the taxi because I was looking up power settings for runway 10 in the takeoff and landing book. I was also running the taxi checklist. Ground control noticed us moving and told us to 'stop.' we did. An opposite direction DC9 aircraft Z was going to a gate that our aircraft was almost blocking.
