Chris,
I didn't DECLARE the stop variable as GLOBAL,
but I did do it just like you did, with the stop variable outside and 
just before the PROCEDURE.  I presume you were going
to put a "return" inside the "if stop_me then", which is what I did do,
but that is what isn't working.  

Not really knowing what I'm doing, I'm concerned that maybe recursive
PROCEDURES are a no-no, that maybe they have to be FUNCTIONS???
