  32. A possible pain reliever for the first throe:
  33.  
  34.         After you realize that an dangling quote has suspended your program,
  35.         try submitting the line
  36.                         "; run cancel;
  37.         to hopefully end the string and abort the submission. (Or is that
  38.         string up the end and submit to the abort?)
