Tim,
        I use C to decrease the time spent programming. I can program in ASM and C, however I am a hardware engineer, and my
programming skills are not as efficient as someone that will program all day.

I need to use the ISR to exit out of the loop, not post pone it. All I am asking is, is there a way to use the ISR to
stop the loop, in only a few instructions. Keeping the loop in tack is not important. I will call the loop again when I
am ready.
