interrupting R

Dear fellow R users, is there a generic way to gracefully interrupt an R function without terminating the entire session ? I am mainly interested in this answer for Linux and MacOS. I found neither Esc nor Ctrl-C to work; it seems that R does not check for signals periodically?
Well, Ctrl-C works for me. Rather than check for signals, R installs a signal handler and gets the OS to do the work. On Mac OS it is unclear if you mean R or R.app. R.app has a Stop sign icon, amongst other ways.
Also, an entirely unrelated question: I have been looking unsuccessfully for the R sources for the examples given in Simon Wood's book on Generalized Additive Models. I had hoped they would be part of the mgcv package but they are not. Has anyone had any luck with this ?
Why not ask him directly?
