Stephen: Per section D1 of manual "M10 - Computer portatile - Guida operativa" (The Italian version of the operation manual) if one presses the key combination for ESC which is <CTRL> +0 while in a text file twice the M10 will indeed save the file and exit to the main menu. So the ESC key combination appears to work.
