Hello mathGroup: I am trying to understand Dynamic[] better by customizing some of the examples in the VirtualBook chapter about this. Specifically, I read that Dynamic[] runs in the front-end. Sometimes (partcularly when I have a bug,) the system appears to be hung. When I run a regular command, it shows "Running.." in the window title, so if it is taking too long, I can kill it (Alt-.). But when Dynamic is running there does not seem to be any visual indication. Is there a way for me to tell this as a user (so I can take some action)? And if there is, do I need to kill all of Mathematica if something I have given to Dynamic[] is hung? TIA. Roger Williams Franklin Laboratory
