I used another solution to the problem of halting a lengthy plot process.
By fooling with event masks and other things (excuse the foggy details,
this was a few weeks ago), I was able to steer the signal from the L1 key
("stop" key in the Keyboard Accelarators table) to a routine that sets a
global variable that the plodding plotting routine checks inside its loop.

Works very well, tho not as user-friendly and self-documenting as a panel
button labeled STOP.  So the first thing my plot routine does is a
pw_text(pw, "Hit L1 to Halt Plot.").
