I have usually been back in the main event loop when I've wanted 
a cancel button (e.g. a long running process launched with 
SHELL, a wait for the HTTP client to retrieve a page) but I 
suppose there might be instances where you wanted to have a 
cancel button available on some long-running process inside your 
Gambas code itself.
