terminate script from keyboard

[Springer, Paul]

Thanks to all for the suggestions. 

Of course my original problem was how to get out of a situation like this
when you inadvertently coded it. Changing the script to provide an escape
hatch is easily done after the fact but I'm afraid I don't usually plan my
bugs so carefully. What I was asking for is a way to get out of this kind of
unplanned situation short of killing RR and losing any unsaved changes. So
far the consensus seems to be that you can't.

1.  on mouseUp
       repeat 100000
         put "hello"&return after field 1
         answer "hello" with "Goodbye" or "Hi back"
         if it is "Goodbye" then exit repeat
       end repeat
     end mouseUp

2.  on mouseUp
       repeat 100000
         put "hello"&return after field 1
         answer "hello"
         if the controlKey is down then exit repeat -- untested; should exit
                   -- if controlKey is down when the answer dialog is closed
       end repeat
     end mouseUp
--
