    Hi,

    If your script run for long time due to hypermesh command (you feel hm freezing), stop it by holding down RMB on graphic area

    If your script run for long time due to some loops (ex: for..., while,...), stop it by a break, example: if {::stop} {break} and the button will set ::stop = 1 when clicked

    remember to 'update' GUI within loops otherwise the button will frozen also and you cannot activate it
