The repeat goes through a text in a variable and if it finds words with
certain characteristics I want it to stop, allow me to change those
characteristics and then go on to the next words.
Imagine a speller looking for misspelled words in a text, stopping when it
finds one and continuing after some input from the user.
I considered your suggestions but I decided the "cleanest" solution was
using the modal window.
I just hoped there was something I didn't know.....in terms of interrupting
a repeat temporarily.
Maybe there should be something like "stop repeat....resume".
