Hi, Richard,

Thanks - it works sometimes, but unfortunately not everytime.
Do a simple script:

 > repeat while 1 = 1 # obviously true most of the time
 > put 0 into mynullvar
 > end repeat

... and try breaking it with "strg-." (ctrl-.) on Windows. It _may_ 
work, but it won't do so reliably (Taskmanager calling ...)

At least it will help SOMETIMES :-) So thanks a lot!
