Cannot stop a running script once started.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Running a code which is doing some work on system level hangs pyScripter. For 
eg. currently I am running a batch renaming process which first makes a list of 
all files in the directory and then renames it according to the code which I 
have written. However once I run it I am unable to stop the script from running 
as it shows me a not responding screen with pyScripter fading in the 
background. Once the process finishes, only then I can make changes in the 
script.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The GUI should'nt hang. It should give me the ability to cancel the running 
script if I wish to.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using PyScripter 2.5.3 x86 on Windows 7 x64 platform.

Please provide any additional information below.

I am using Python 2.7 32 bit.

Are you using the remote python engine?  (Run, Python Engine, Remote)?

You should be using the remote python engine for all tasks.  You can then kill 
the remote engine at any time using the Abort Debugging command or by 
reinitializing the remote engine.  You can read more about the Pyscripter 
python engines at http://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/wiki/RemoteEngines.
