interrupting in kiosk mode

[stefangs]

on a mac, i have a script with an infinite loop. when i want to interrupt, i can press cmd-period. that works well in fm. but when i do the same in kiosk mode, cmd-period does not work. so i really am in an infinite loop now and i can't get out. is there a way to interrupt also in kiosk mode?

Exit Loop If [status(CurrentModifierKeys) = X]

where X equals the particular modifier key combination you want. Look in the Help info on the Status(CurrentModifierKeys) function to see what the options are.

bingo! i just did a 'If (Status (CurrentModifierKeys) > 0 and that did it. need to hold the keys for a while, but eventually the loop 'gives up'. thanks!!
