I also identify with the problem of how to abort an Mma calculation efficiently on a NeXT computer. But I do have two comments. First, to get quick access to the submenu that actually has the "about" command on it, at the beginning of your session, proceed through the "actions" submenus until the very last one shows up. Then move your cursor to the black line at the top of the menu. Click and hold. Now you can drag this submenu to some safe corner of the screen and it will always be available at a moments notice. Second, many Mma "calculations" are rather involved and take some time to reach a natural stopping point. So waiting for a minute maybe necessar even after issuing the "abort" command. --Richard L.
