Thx Terry, that might be an idea .. the calculations are not that diff so i could rewrite them in Obj-C to keep the task object small … or the other way around: i'll create a task with a panel and pipe the cancel to the process Rob
Could you wrap the process into an NSTask and use pipes to communicate?

A key event seems to wait until the app gets back to the main loop, a system("stty raw -echo") just hangs, gets and read.non-block either wait or want a enter to follow any character.
