I found myself looking for the "stop" button just yesterday ;-).
From a programmer's point of view, the question is: where should
we
stick the handlers for aborting a script? Is everyone who's putting

Notice that you have a "break" command for loops, so with some
foresight you can arrange a conditional breakout if things are not
going well.
