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

I know I can do a Command . to stop this, but what if I wanted to let the
end user stop the process?  How would I code this?

One way is

if the optionkey is down then exit repeat



exactly what I do.

If I have a long running process that I might want to halt, I sprinkle

if optionkey is down then
   exit repeat
end if

inside all my loops and if it goes off into the weeds and looks like it will complete sometime next year, I press the option key and eventually it halts.

:-) I've been know to use my stapler to hold down the optionkey for me on really long running processes

Kee


or the synonym altKey
