I think that this is not possible for that running J instance alone. The reason
is J is single thread so that while running the looping code, it can not process
gui messages. Or you may test for a certain file periodically. If that file is
deleted, then exit the loop.

I have a loop that processes around a hundred files. Once started, it

from the operating system.
I put in the break. control word that looks at a variable to enable a
way to break out of the loop. I thought setting that variable with a
button on the form would be a good idea, but all I get when I try this
while the loop is running is the Windows "boink" . Is there a good, or
any, way to set this variable while the loop is running?
