program runs fine (motor goes on), i just cant stop it.


If the person stops running, then that means the program has stopped.
The "Run" button stops a program and turns off the motors.  However,
when a program finished normally (with nothing more to do), the motors
are left in whatever state the program put them in.  Often I'll add the
following line at the end of my program to prevent it from actually
stopping - thus allowing me to use the Run button to stop the program
and motors:

  while(true);
