Thanks to every one for the help thus far.
I have run into a new problem with the thread now. First off, I am
able to cancel the process now that it's on a new thread. That part
works. The problem is that while the new thread is working it updates
a textfield in a window pretty regularly with file information. This
information is getting all garbled as if the text that was there is
not being removed even though I do a setStringValue:@" " between each
update. How do I fix this?

Just FYI, threading isn't a small tweak. You do need to use a
thread in order to solve your problem, but there are a lot of
things you need to know first.
You should probably spend an hour or two and read about it before
writing too much code:

Multithreading/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000057i
(There might be better resources as well; this was one of the best
links I could pull up after searching for a minute or two.)

Ok. I will move it to a new thread. I tried that before and it
made no difference before but I must have done it wrong. I think
I know where the mistake there was.
Thanks,
Mark.

Ok, well it's not taking the click at all until after the loop
finishes.
So I guess I'm wondering what I did wrong in this loop that I
cannot click cancel.
It sounds like your loop is in the main thread instead of being
on a separate thread. If it were on a separate thread, it
wouldn't affect the main thread.
