exactly what I do.

If I have a long running process that I might want to halt, I sprinkle

if optionkey is down then
exit repeat
end if

inside all my loops and if it goes off into the weeds and looks like
it will complete sometime next year, I press the option key and
eventually it halts.

:-) I've been know to use my stapler to hold down the optionkey for me
on really long running processes
