Understatement?  I've heard ctl-c will stop it, but half a dozen of them, 
give up and walked down to the house because my coffee cup is empty and 
come back to the spinning circle.  It gets the reset button treatment when 
I get back in that case.

True, but then I might wreck the work because I've got a + in the while 
control variable step when I should have a -.  That is, hands down, my most 
common misteak when carving my own code.  Possibly related to all the years 
on the wet ram, dammit. :(

Cheers, Gene

"Windows for Dummies" is much more than a book title, it's a Microsoft
way of life!
A pen in the hand of this president is far more
dangerous than 200 million guns in the hands of
         law-abiding citizens.
