I know Macs have interrupts. I own one, and would replace it with a Windoze 
machine for anything. However, at my high school, where I found myself in 
infinite loops, they had cheapo LC 450's with ancient compilers, which didn't 
respond to force quits. The LC's didn't have interrupt buttons. Sorry to offend
you.
