I have a routine that is looping through and opening a series of text

Another way, if you want ot have a 'stop' button, for instance, is to
have a script local variable that you set from a button :
in the stack or card script that runs the loop:
local sStopLoop = false
on someFunction
repeat until jobDone
if sStopLoop then exit repeat
doStuff...
wait 0 millisecs with messages -- need this to allow rev to
respond to button clicks
end repeat
cleanUpStuff...
end someFunction
on stopLoop
put true into sStopLoop
end stopLoop
Then in the stop button script:
on mouseUp
stopLoop
end mouseUp
Best,
Mark
