Sometimes (not yet well-defined) I try to stop a loop, (either because it's running some wrong code or because the loop will take days or hours) with alt-comma but it keeps going. More than once I have had to shut the whole system off. Granted, Microsoft does not provide a competent universal interrupt (which the 35-year-old Tops-10 did very nicely) but maybe Mathematica can be modified to stop more easily. ?? Is anyone else bummed by this? Steve Gray
