    I don't know how to answer your questions, but one thing that seem
    to work for me in a similar situation is the following:

    1) When I click <CANCEL> in my dialog box, I simply call
HTEventList_stopLoop().
    2) From the main code, after returning from HTEventList_loop() I can
cleanup
        and terminate the library. I think that HTNet_killAll() also cancel
        all the pending requests (it's called by HTProfile_delete, but I need
        to call it before, in order to properly release all the anchors).

Hope this helps,
