Use the <esc> key - press it once, and you should see the error count go up a
few. Then it beeps, and it says 'Transfer Aborted' (or similar). Sometimes you
have to hold it for a second or two - it doesn't appear to poll the keyboard
continuously during transfers.

I hope I didn't misunderstand your question... :-)
Commodore already produces the A2024 monitor, which is capable of ~1k square
in four shades of grey. (the numbers mightn't be quite right..sorry) It runs
quite happily on an A2000 (so we've been told by The Dave :-)) There's also
a Viking Moniterm monitor I believe. (I may have mixed the names up a bit,
but anyway, there are monitors out there, and Amiga's support them already)
