[QUOTE="small pumpkin man, post: 4109636, member: 57910"] If I interrupt you conversation, I stop you from talking, when I stop talking you can then finish what you were saying. When I schedule an interrupt on a computer processor, the processor stops what it's doing until the interrupt is finished, then it goes back to what it was doing. In both cases, obviously if the interruption does something specific to prevent the following action, the action can't be finished, but the action isn't incapable of being finished just because it was interrupted. The very fact that this is how "an interrupt" immediate works, will show you that this is the interpretation they're using. Saying an OA "interrupts an action", and then defining an in interrupt as something else might be a problem, if "an interrupt" didn't work essentially exactly the same way. [b]Interrupt[/b] (from merriam-webster) transitive verb 1: to stop or hinder by breaking in <interrupted the speaker with frequent questions> 2: to break the uniformity or continuity of <a hot spell occasionally interrupted by a period of cool weather> Note that both of those imply that something can be interrupted several times in the same action.
