SUMMARY
=======

The COMMAND+PERIOD key combination generally behaves the same as the ESC key.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Early Macintoshes that do not have an ESC key on their keyboard use
COMMAND+PERIOD to interrupt a process or close a dialog box or window.

NOTE: Unless the SET ESCAPE, ON ESCAPE, or ON KEY LABEL command has been issued,
pressing the ESC key (or COMMAND+PERIOD) in FoxPro interrupts program and
command execution, or closes the open dialog box or window.
