Better how? On the Unix side, or the Squeak side?

I'll have to take a look. I was asking because I am calling Mac OS X's
hdiutil, which can take ~5-10 minutes to run, and sometimes I want to cancel
the op. I mentioned Ctrl-c specifically because I know it responds to it; on
the CLI, it gives a message about canceling before stopping.
