Welcome to the forums.
I have indicated the sentence of the quotation which is a cause for concern. Writing programs for somebody else, eh? This other person must hate icons and toolbars. The program could close out of a memory leak, hardware problem or power outage, and then I wouldn't want to deal with the reaction to that.
The user could also press [CTRL][ALT][DELETE] "in the middle of what they were doing", IJS. But I'm just babbling and paranoid.
I'm just curious: could you give away even a little bit what you're trying to do with "_EXIT" and "ON... KEY"? I don't recommend "ON... KEY GOSUB/GOTO" because at keypress it could totally interrupt a critical operation being performed. However it's annoying having to put "KEY() STOP" before that operation, finish the operation and then "KEY() ON".
