Geoff, you may wish to add a "halt process" to the script or have another
script to halt this endless loop!

Loop
  If [ Get( Active ModifierKeys ) = 4 // ctrl key down ]
    Halt Script
  End If
  Pause/Resume Script [ Indefinitely ]
End Loop

While technically you *can* cancel the script running at anytime, because
you haven't added "Allow User Abort [Off]". I know I can get myself into
trouble if I don't make sure I have a built-in halt process for a loop... :)
