So I thought of using the quit signal but I have problems in trapping it in the 4GL Application apart from asking for the status of the quit_flag. What I want to use is a ON KEY or COMMAND KEY statement in menus,input,construct etc but I cannot use ON KEY (QUIT) (such syntax is not supported) or ON KEY (CONTROL-\\) ( I get 4447 error) statements. Do you or someone else know of a way to solve this ?
