Escaping from Repeat loops

[Derek Bump]

I'm coming into this thread a little late, but I have a question.  I
have a repeat loop that looks something like this:

   repeat xNumberOfTimes
      global doCancelVariable

      -- My Code Here

      wait 1 tick with messages
      if doCancelVariable = "true" then
         exit to top
      end if
   end repeat

Within a "Cancel" button is a script that, when pressed, put's "true"
into the global variable "doCancelVariable".

Everything works as it should, except that after pressing the button,
the currently running script does not see that the global variable has
changed.  Is there some way to see the change from the currently running
script?
