I did have a bit of trouble quiting Comet after that, and by now I don't remember exactly how I got away, I think I hit control/break and after that my dos prompt turned into something very cryptic that didn't make sense to me, but I was going to have to restart the computer at that point anyhow. It could be that if I would have tried to continue on IN Comet, it might have allowed me to do that, but usually what I do to analyze a position, is load it in with ctrl/G, then set the time control to infinite, then hit ctrl/Z, and to stop the search I hit esc, so things weren't normal for me because the search had already stopped, so I immediatly started trying to exit out of the program.
