On Exit question

[TerryRitchie]

@NasaCow

on wikipage of _EXIT you find these instructions:

 If a return value is not 0 the program can handle an exit request at a more convenient time if necessary.
 After being read, the _EXIT value is reset to 0 so store the value when a program delays an exit request.
 Note: Once _EXIT has been used once, you must monitor your program by checking it for user _EXIT requests.
 Don't just use _EXIT once to prevent a user from exiting a program early, as that constitutes bad practice.

....
can you find another way to manage the issue about closing by brute force your program?

I just include _EXIT in my checks for the user wanting to leave the program:

Foo = _EXIT

DO
   .
   . <code>
   .
LOOP UNTIL _KEYDOWN(27) OR _EXIT ' ESC pressed or window X clicked
