Well I've been thinking along the lines of calling the other form, which returns a value:

Do Form Wait to llGetOutOfIt

llGetOutOfIt is a logical field that's tested repeatedly in your processing loop. If .T., and within the abort period then break out of the processing loop.

Trouble is, for a form to return a value it needs to be modal, which means that it will take up the processing time and suspemd the calling form.

So, a modeless Wait form that instead sets a global var that the process loop in the main form inspects. But this is just me thinking aloud and haven't gone through all the ramifications.
