view/new layout [
Button "Stop" [done: yes unview/all]
]
done: no
check-my-dir: does [print "Checking..."]
until [
check-my-dir
wait 5 ; just 5 seconds to test it
done
]
(You could also just quit when the user presses stop, but I assume
you want to do something else after the loop.) I'll leave adding
the start button as an exercise. ;-)
Regards,
Gabriele.
