In SLIME, how to you exit from an endless loop? Using Windows?

Ctl-C only puts me in the mini buffer instead of giving a soft
interrupt, and Ctl-Alt-Delete doesn't work, either. There doesn't seem
to be a menu item or shortcut that says, "TERMINATE PROGRAM NOW!"

Thanks, CC.

Hi!
  Ctrl-C Ctrl-C sends an interrupt to lisp process (in Linux). Never
tried it on Windows.
You might also try M-x slime-quit-lisp, or traverse SLIME menu in
EMACS.

You are using Emacs and Slime on Windows where there are at least three 
commercial IDEs, including the Lambdorghini of Lisps, AllegroCL?

Oh, just noticed the subject... never mind!

You mean "as expensive as a Lamborghini"?  :-)

You almost got it!

Not your fault, I probably should have gone with Lambdarghini, phonetics 
be damned.

It's usually C-c C-b (for BREAK) or M-x slime-interrupt.  But it depends
on the Lisp implementation if that actually works.  If you're using
CLISP it probably doesn't work because SLIME sends a Unix signal and
that's not very useful on Windows.
 
You can also try to switch to the *inferior-lisp* buffer and press C-c
C-c there, which hopefully does something less Unixy.

no, looks like it it sends normal Windows break -- i've sort of checked it 
now.
it was weird, though, as this break had then propagated to a batch file
handler, so i had to "unlock" in inferior lisp to continue.
