David Farough has already commented expertly on this one.

Just allow me to add that capturing of the ctrl key is nowhere near as easy
as simply defining a script to call it. As far as I understand things JAWS
doesn't let you call scripts with individual modifiers unless they're
pressed in conjunction with something else.  With all this said, does
IsKeyWaiting return true if you press a modifier? Does KeyPressedEvent get
called?

Good afternoon Dean,

I did not look through your code.  However, it sounds to me like you  
need a global variable that can be set to On or Off so that your  
function can know if it should stop or not.

1. Create a global variable to store a binary state of on or off

2. When the reading function starts set the variable to on

3. When the control key is pressed set the variable to off

4. In your reading function check the state of the global variable  
before reading the next line.

HTH,
Everett
