Yes, with the caveat that it can take some time. An arbitrary amount. > But maybe this is not true in 10.5? On 10.5, -cancel does not make the receiver ready. So, it still has to wait to become ready in the normal way. If you haven't overridden what readiness means, then the operation just has to wait for all of its dependencies to finish. You can remove the dependencies at the same time you cancel the operations, if you like, but there's no one-method way to do that.
