I'm porting a rather large LISP application to the NeXT and, of
course, am spending most of my time on the interface.  Here is my
problem:

Since (send NXApp "run") doesn't return, how can I interrupt the
application to get back to the LISP top level?  Control-C doesn't
help. I've resorted to putting a button in my application that runs a
method that contains (break), but I'm sure there's a more elegant way
to handle it.  A related problem is that when I quit from the
application using the "quit" item in the main menu LISP quits as well.
Thanks in advance.
