Stopping a Process

I have a routine that is looping through and opening a series of text
files using a Repeat Loop. I know I can do a Command . to stop this, but what if I wanted to let the end user stop the process? How would I code this?

One way is if the optionkey is down then exit repeat or the synonym altKey Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@...

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 Kee > or the synonym altKey > > Jim Ault > Las Vegas > > > > _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > use-revolution@... > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ------------------------------------------------- I check email roughly 2 to 3 times per business day.

Waiting without messages means that the interface will stay frozen until the entire handler has finished, meaning that people can't click on 'Cancel' buttons etc. Ian _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@...

If you don't use 'with messages' the wait command will halt the current
handler and any messaging activity, such as a user click. The 'with messages' allows other messages to be sent and received, such as waiting for a web server to send more data, or an ftp download to keep working while the user does other activities.
