Hi, It seems in Version 6 one can't abort a loop if there's a Print statement inside. Try the following code For[i = 1, i < 1000, ++i, Print[i]] No matter doing it from the menu or with the keyboard shortcut, the abort action will be ignored. Under 5.2, the code stops right away when I hit Cmd-. Sometime, trying to abort would even freeze the whole program, causing lost sessions. I'm running 6.0.1.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.10. Any suggestions of what's going on? Is this a bug or a new feature? Frank
