I've already tried Alt +, and the "hand" in the menu bar without any success. Pushing Alt+ or the mouse button for a while the computer just beep-s but nothing else happens. > The only way I can escape is CTRL - ALT - DEL, but this is not the best way > I guess. > Thanks in advance, > > Laszlo Sturmann > Vanderbilt University > > Sturmann at juggler.phy.vanderbilt.edu or > Sturmann at phyv01.phy.vanderbilt.edu > > I've read the answer of Simon Benninga from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He states that in version 2.2.1, interrupting with Alt+ should work. My experience with version 2.2.1. for MSDOS is that interrupting still doesn't work in SOME cases. An updated version might help you, but is not guarantueed. I think that the problem is intrinsic to MSDOS/WINDOWS 3.1 and not to Mathematica..... with greetings Fred Hugen
