Using HEAD revision 5830:

File | New | Census
Census | Add cell [repeat several times]
Census | Print case to disk

If you hit Esc while the busy cursor is not shown, it cancels.

OTOH, with older revisions, the progress dialog cannot be cancelled,
even if you hold the Esc key down throughout. In this diff to 5830:
  
http://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/lmi/trunk/system_command_wx.cpp?root=lmi&r1=5634&r2=5830
you can just comment out this line:
  e && e->YieldFor(wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI);
if that's easier.

Yes, please do look into it. Here's a problem: even with revision 5830,
I can interrupt by pressing Esc, but not by clicking the Cancel button,
and also not by clicking the progress dialog's "X" close button.
