Hi,

How do you terminate an interactive LispWorks evaluation?  Every now
and then I cause an infinite loop but can't stop it without exiting.  I've
been
through the user manual twice and haven't seen an abort mechanism
(eg, DEC used CTRL/C).

Thanks,
Gary

Under win32 and the LW eval I just manged to interrupt:

    (loop (print 'hello))

...with control-break.

There's a break button in the IDE - the one with the two bars, not 
unlike the pause button you find on some tape recorders. If you're not 
afraid of using the mouse, this should work. ;)

The button with the two parentheses and the arrow escaping from it 
brings you back to the top level.

You could nuke the offending process either with MP:PROCESS-KILL
or from the process browser, if you're using the podium.
