How to kill a procedure? [message #13716]

I am wondering how to kill an errant IDL procedure in Windows 95 without
killing the whole application and starting over. I sometimes make a
programming error which causes a procedure to go into an infinite loop.
It seems like I used to be able to hit ctrl-C in older versions of IDL,
at least in procedures that had some sort of print statement in them, to
exit out of a procedure. But recently when this has happened, nothing
seems to work and I have to hit ctrl-alt-delete and kill IDL entirely,
which is very annoying, especially if I have unsaved variables. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
