I tried it, and while the value of the global changes while the button
is executing, the value in the main handler does not.

I did find a solution though.  Instead of putting the boolean in a
variable, I placed it within a field on the current card.  Works like a
charm...

   if cd fld "doCancel" = "true" then
      exit to top
   end if

I'll probably try a customProperty next, and if that works, I'll stick
to that as I prefer not to have random objects on a card.

Thanks for the help!
