Repeat until ...the user chooses to stop?

List:

I'm interested in approaches to this problem:

I have a repeat loop crafted to capture the geographic coordinates being viewed within Google Earth and a dialog that prompts whether to continue the repeat loop and, therefore, to continue logging coordinates.

The problem is that currently the user is required to continually click the dialog to continue.

I'd like to find a way to have the repeat loop continue until the user clicks "Stop", but while keeping the display dialog prompt as a top floating window.

Any simple ideas of how to achieve this in one applescript?

Code:

----

set response to "Go"

set thePath to {}

tell application "Google Earth"

repeat while response = "Go"

set theViewInfo to (GetViewInfo) as list

set the end of thePath to (item 2 of theViewInfo) & "," & (item 1 of theViewInfo) & "," & (item 3 of theViewInfo) & "

" as string

tell application "System Events"

set response to button returned of (display dialog "Press Go to log a GE Coordinate" buttons {"Go", "Stop"})

--set theTime to do shell script "date +'%m-%d-%YT%I:%M:%S'"

end tell

end repeat

end tell

thePath

------

Thanks,

Dane
