yeah, but it does take time for it to go through the loop, and it would save a
little power and be more responsive

Actually, this already happens on the calc (when you put Request  inside a
Dialog box inside a try...endtry loop).  But, even still if you press ON
enough times then it will cause a break (usually at the Else command).  So if
the ON interruption was turned off while INSIDE of a Try...EndTry loop then if
you really wanted to you could escape out of the loop.
