Kamil,
I think the point was that:
you didn't even look into the Help System.
If you had looked for the ESC key (which you knew about), you would
have found the property you had wanted no matter what it's particular
name was.
(i.e. 'the blockESC' or 'the notQuit' or whatever)
Complaining about getting the help that-you-had-asked-for is probably
not the best way to assure that you'll get it again in the future.
