OK, so I am replying to my own post as I figured it out a workaround, and I thought I would share it in case anyone else has the same problem. If you set the stop to "stop at point" instead of "return to start" using alt/0, then when you hit the stop button once its stops at the point you hit it. If you hit stop twice if returns to the point you started,(return to start) and if you hit it three times it returns to the beginning of the project. It actually works quite nicely.
