Playing a little more with Yield. It seems that Yield allows the user to click on buttons again, while the routine is still executing. So the code produces an error: perl(40521,0x7fff76d6a300) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff5eb01280: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug So that tells I need to keep to track of the user interupting things or something else, which might be more user friendly in most cases.. However, I figure in this usage I'd better split my routine and add the loop as separate calls to a specific function. The calls would then be trigered by adding them to the event loop. best -- erik colson
