How to interrupt a get URL http... command

[Michael Kann]

on mouseUp
put "http://www.runrev.com" into curURL
load url curURL
put the cachedURLS into fld 1 // to see what you have loaded
put url curURL  into fld 2    // will load from cache
end mouseUp

From the dictionary:

To use a file that has been downloaded by the load command, refer to it using the URL keyword as usual. When you request the original URL, Revolution uses the cached file automatically.
