R help - Jan 2009 - R2WinBUGS stopping execution

Apologies if this isn't acceptable for the general help list.

I'm running OpenBUGS model via the R2WinBUGS package interface, under 
Windows.  Is it possible to terminate running models, short of using the 
Windows Task Manager to forcibly exit the program?

Regards,
Richie.

  Not that I know of (i.e., probably not).

If you use OpenBUGS, then I guess you can not since R2WinBUGS just passes a call
to BRugs and there is no way to stop that process or maybe it is - take a look
in the list of processes. If you use WinBUGS, then you can safely
"kill" it and
R will not terminate.
