My 2 cents worth - I have an app in 2.6 which will be moving up to 5 soon and the user does a big print run which often stuffs up - adds an extra line, there's been lots on the thread about the problem but no solution - and the user then has to kill the print run. In this case it'd be great to print it in batches of 50 or 100, have a message box saying do you want to cancel and if the user doesn't reply it just carries on. There are other options which OOP could offer I guess but a timing out message box would be good.
