Hi Volker,
This is kind of off target here, but..
The method below would solve that problem in rebol/view. It ensures that
processes don't keep running in the task manager after the window is closed
for a rebol/view script that has an infinite loop.
Hopefully the event scheme could be added to rebol/core too. or Perhaps some
of the rebol/core gurus have similar solution for rebol/core?
event-port: open [scheme: 'event]
forever [
; do stuff...
; do more stuff
wait event-port ; since time events are always firing it won't have to
wait long.
event: first event-port
if event/type = 'quit [break]
do event
]
close event-port
; end of script..
Cheers,
