You can do it with a window with a Cancel button. The code in this cancel
should
set an instance variable called ib_quitWorking, or whatever. Then, in your
loop, if ib_quitWorking = True, then do an EXIT to get out of your loop.
You'll need to have a Yield() within the loop so the button click can
happen... note this will slow down your loop though because you're telling
the operating system that you do not want it's undivided attention....
You're logic will need to be in a business object controlled by the window.

to break out of the loop by pressing the ESC key. (or something similar)
Does anyone have a script sample that does this, or something similar?
